How to deal with notice received for Non-Filing of Income Tax Return:
If you get a notice for non-filing of income tax return from compliance management cell, first you need to understand why you have received notice. After logging into your account on the e-filing portal athttps://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in, visit compliance menu where you will be able to view the details of the assessment years for which the return has not been filed and for which the third party information has been received by the ITD.
The taxpayer can choose one of the following response options:
i. ITR has been filed
ii. ITR has not been filed
If the taxpayer chooses the option that ITR has been filed then it need to provide the mode of filing the ITR (paper or e-file), date of filing the ITR and the acknowledgement number. In case the ITR is e-filed, the status will be automatically updated.
If the taxpayer chooses the option that it has not filed the ITR then it needs to choose one of the following options:
i. Return under preparation
ii. Business has been closed
iii. No taxable income
iv. Others
In case if the taxpayer chooses the option “others” then he has to mandatorily submit the remarks
If you are not registered with the e-filing portal, use the “registered yourself” link to register your PAN. The response has to be submitted electronically by clicking Compliance link after logging into the e-filing portal.
