Filed Tax under wrong assessment year

file a fresh return and it will a belated return for the Asst  year 2008-09.  and ask for refund

Dear Hariohm,

If your return would have been assessed by the Assessing officer, you would have either recieved notice u/s 139(9)-defective return or you would have recieved notice u/s 142(1), calling for information from the assessee. In your case, it seems you havent recieved any notice from the Department.

It will be beneficial in your interest if you personally approach the assessing officer with the copy of acknowledgements of both the returns. He will issue a notice u/s 139(9) and you can rectify your mistake and dont worry if you recieve notice U/s 139(9) or 142 (1), you would be recieving your refund as soon as possible.

Hi all, thanks for the responses.

I went and checked the local Income Tax offer where they did not give me any clear answer. First they said that I cannot file revision because the last day (March 31st) has elapsed and someone else said that I have to write a "condonation" letter.

It seems my second return of 2007-08 AY was not even looked into. And so I did not get any notification from them. I wonder why they did not send me any notification for non-filing for the AY 2008-09.

I did not meet the assessment officer though, will go and meet him up as well.

Thanks,

Hari Ohm.
