Email subject income declaration scheme 2016

Got the same email in my spouse's email account who does not have any income (forget undisclosed).
Interestingly, I haven't filed my return yet and I did not get any such email in my account.
So it's open to analysis why this email was sent to certain accounts...
 

its just a general information and awareness notice from Income Tax Department regarding IDS, if you want to know more about IDS you can go through my article on the same from my profile page

Thanks a lot dear friends for your prompt responses

My Dad who is a retired govt employee got it too. But no one else in my family received this. I hope income tax official won't harrass common people in coming days.

As in the above posts it has been mentioned by some that this is just an awareness mail. Even I too am of the same opinion and hence wanted to confirm if others too have recieved such an email.

I too received this email and was a bit concerned. I've a couple of FDs whose interest earning was not shown while filing IT returns (under the other income section). By not declaring the bank's FD interest and savings interest during tax returns filing in the previous years, will this also be considered as undisclosed income? Does this need to be declared now as IDS?

Sorry for the multiple posts. I'm experiencing trouble with the computer, internet and the site..

Talked to income tax call center, they said that they are sending it in bulk, I asked why to specific people for this they didnt have any answer. He continued by focussing on land transactions. So probably people who have bought land and have not reported, though my father didnt buy any land still he received it. Very strange.

This email is more of a generic email to make efilers aware that such IDS scheme exists. Its not an intimation of any kind. Its basically a bulk email for information purposes. As far as the IDS is concerned I read they will  target high value transactions of 50 lakh and above. IDS is mostly for black money transactions. Normal average salaried people will not have to worry I guess. Read this link

Maybe others who recieved such a email can give your opinions on this

Thanks for this information . I have also received the same email yesterday and was thinking it as notice ,now based on your above post that this is general email for all e-filer. but still not everyone received this email I have checked from my other friends. I have properly filing the income tax on my salary and fd and saving interest each year. Thanks for confirmation

Thanks,

emails are general awareness to the public. The undisclosed income means only those who are having taxable income in the previous financial years.
