Dear Bosco,

never mind about the officers mood. you just send the letter stating all the facts to the AO and CPC bangalore.If no proper feed back is received then your may send letter the Greivance CEll, Chief Commissioner of Income Tax of the respective area the matter will be resolved within 30 days.

regards

I further think that the officers are annoyed about the CPC, because most of their powers are taken by the CPC and so they play tactfully so that the people can automatically come to them.

Dear Mr. U S Sharma / NJR and other expert Forum members,

I have also received a similar intimation (Communication on Arrear Demand) from CPC, Bangalore for13,925/- for AY 2008-09, on 5th November 2011. I’ve read all the posts in this forum, I’m posting here, as my case is slightly different, and I request your expert opinion on this.

The fact is that, I joined my employer in May 2007 as Management Trainee (on Contract Basis), so my TDS was deducted flat 10.3% from my monthly salary. Ultimately total TDS deducted was around 33k. For filling my returns, I approached a CA and filed my returns for AY 2008-09 claiming a return of22k based on the Form 16A.

For all my further IT returns for AY 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, I have filed and even received refunds from CPC/IT department.

But for AY 2008-09 particularly the TDS deducted was not fully reflecting in my Form 26AS. Only in July 2010, the entire TDS deducted for the AY 2008-09 was reflected in my Form 26AS. I checked up with my CA, for a way to claim my refund, He said, since the records have been updated recently in the Form 26AS, the only way is to wait.

Ever since I have been expecting a refund, but suddenly today I find this intimation to my horror, informing me that I’ve an arrear of 13.9k to be adjusted with my refund.

I suppose, in my case, I need to claim refund (22k) after clearing this demand (13.9k) both in Demand Register and in CPC database.

I sincerely request all your guidance on this for me to proceed further. Thanks in Advance…

Dear Mr. U S Sharma / NJR and other expert Forum members,

The fact is that, I joined my employer in May 2007 as Management Trainee (on Contract Basis), so my TDS was deducted flat 10.3% from my monthly salary. Ultimately total TDS deducted was around 33k. For filling my returns, I approached a CA and filed my returns for AY 2008-09 claiming a return of 22k based on the Form 16A.

- when actual form 16A was 33K and you claimed 22K, where did the balance 11K gone, in drawings or somewhere else? in funds flow statement what sumery your CA suggests for shortfall of 11k?, despite of fact that your 26AS did not displayed the full amount, you had to claim the same and get rejected, again file rectification u/s 154, 

- Net Tax Payable as per the calculations done by the CA came to Rs. 11k. Hence we claimed refund for the balance 22k. Since this was my first ever IT return filing, I didn’t know much about Form 26AS. Subsequently I got to know the importance of Form 26AS.

- why did not you get in touch with deductor for revision of their TDS returns, and what did it made delayed for more than years to rectify?

- In the subsequent year (AY 2009-10), when I filed my returns, I checked for Form 26AS, only then I noticed that the TDS entries for AY 2008-09 are still pending for 5 months, I approached my deductor (Company IT Filings are managed in Gurgaon, and I’m placed at Chennai), So it took me couple of weeks to ask them do it. After 15-20 days entries for 2 months were updated by March 2010. When I approached them, they said its March, wait up to April, and then we’ll follow-up. In April when the entries were not reflected, I had to approach again and then finally all the entries were reflected by July 2010.

For all my further IT returns for AY 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, I have filed and even received refunds from CPC/IT department.

- its a cock and bull story, such refunds can not be claimed. 

- Even for my friends who joined with me, had similar case, few of them got their refund by 2010 end and few got in July 2011.

Ever since I have been expecting a refund, but suddenly today I find this intimation to my horror, informing me that I’ve an arrear of 13.9k to be adjusted with my refund.
 

- refund without claim? do you think that out Incometax department can call you and ask you file the claim?

- I assume ITR filed for AY 2008-09 with a claim for a refund of 22k is the claim from our end. All the subsequent years I filed similarly and got refund for AY 2009-10 also. For AY 2010-11 & AY 2011-12 I had NIL refund, so I received confirmation from CPC for the same. Kindly guide me, if anything else I could have done for AY 2008-09.

- as you had got refund, you must have preserved the intimation u/s 143(1), reconcile the same with the data provided in your letter, and then proceed with the procedure.

- I got refund only for AY 2009-10. Now for AY 2008-09, please suggest the procedure to claim my refund as well as clear this arrear demand.

I suppose, in my case, I need to claim refund (22k) after clearing this demand (13.9k) both in Demand Register and in CPC database.

I sincerely request all your guidance on this for me to proceed further. Thanks in Advance…

Dear All,

The Communication gap between the IT wards and CPC make the demands. Don't get frustrated. just write a letter stating the facts of your case and file the letter under section 154 until your records get corrected.Send the copies of the letter to the CPC also.

Dear Arul,

Please approach your ITO with a copy of a)The Return for A.Y.2008-09,b)Form 26-AS for A.Y.2008-09 reflecting the entire TDS of Rs.33K and explain to him the issue.Also carry a formal letter and obtain an acknowledgement.It has been my experience in Mumbai that refunds have been processed on such submissions.

As regards the demand intimation from CPC,B'lore for A.Y.2008-09,it is a very odd situation and you may refer my earlier posts for an update.

Please note that you can have your refund processed independently thro' your ITO and the receipt of the demand intimation from CPC should not be a hindrance.

@ Arul

i assume the intimation u/s 143(1) has been communicated to you, if not then get a copy from respective ITO/ CPC where the return is filed by calling / writing to them, and then proceed through ombudsman for excess refund.

We assume that 26AS was nil for that year and hence your tax appicable was assessed with interest and that is reflecting in your communication for arrear demand. 

However if the facts are genuine, you will get relief by approaching to ombudsman, procedure they will prescribe to yourself at 1st visit, for specific case. 

Dear Mr. Kanagaraj / Mr. Balaji / Mr. U. S. Sharma

Hi Friends,

I have received an intimation u/s 245 of Income Tax Act, 1961 for AY 2008-09 for arrears demand.

In my e-filing for the same year i have come to know that I mistakenly picked Gross Salary instead of Gross Total Income from Form 16. That's why income tax comes out to be more and hence the intimation.

Please advice me what should i do now. Should i meet Assessment Officer concerned or should i e-file revised return.

Thank You,

Kamlesh

Dear Uttam 

you can file a rectified return through the e filing portal mentioning your reference number mentioned in the intimation .It will take 30-45 days for rectification.

regards

Dear Kamlesh,

If you have checked your return and are convinced that the demand raised by the Dept. is correct,please pay the said demand amount forthwith and intimate CPC,B'lore once you have made the payment,alongwith a copy of the payment challan.

@ kanagaraj

Thanx a lot. But i read that revised e-filing can be done only within one year of e-filing.

What you think?...

Also i have written an email to ask @ incometax.gov.in for what to do now.
I hope they would reply.
