Didn't File Taxes — further steps and repercussions?

If I didn’t file or pay taxes two years ago, what are the possible repercussions? My main concern is persecution/legal action.

Does the IT department first have to send a notice to file and pay (with the accrued interest + fine etc) and can only persecute if there is no action or response from recipient? Or can they directly take legal action against me without any notice? Is there anything I can do now to remedy this situation?

Sir
you can voluntary file ITR for the past 2 years and avoid notices/legal actions etc.

Dept has to follow procedure of notice and cannot take direct action

You can file for FY 20-21,21-22 AND 22-23

FY 22-23 should be priority for filing as last date is 31.12.2023 with nominal late fees. Other 2 years can be filed in coming 3 months.
