Hey, Even I have received similar mail from ITDep ...with same issue. Probably send a mail to dept: ask @ incometaxindia.gov.in and get it clarified.
 

Thanks ! Yusuf

Dear Mr.prashant,

It is a Zip file - it can be opened by using Winzip software.

The password is as per their instructioins - small letters of  Pan No +your date of birth.

Quote: (For example, if your PAN is AZZPZ2398K and date of birth / incorporation is January 21, 1985 then the password will be azzpz2398k21011985)

 

It is easily accessible and it contains TDS details like 26 AS

Try again

Varathan

Dear Prashanth,

I am also facing the  same problem and I could not open any one of the files using the password combination of  " Pan No. and Date of birth".  There should be some problem with the file. It is better to contact IT department's help line No. 01242438000 (toll free) and your problem may be solved.

Till now i have received 3 mails.................I have opened.one ................i dint try others.

how did u open the file
it is the simple problem The problem may be any of the two: 1. updation of user login password at Income tax records but not on the Income tax database 2. difference in date of birth in databases of yours (from dob you are trying to open the file than to what is available at IT records) The solution could be found by demanding an e-mail from It admin Just send an email to the following e-mailaddress: efiling.administrator @ incometaxindia.gov.in The sample mail is given below: --------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Efiling Administrator (efiling.administrator @ incometaxindia.gov.in) Dear Sir/maa'm As we are trying to open the downloaded ITR-V of the above referred Assessee by entering password as a combination of PAN and Date of Birth/Induction (caps-lock is off) the "Wrong Password" Error occured while opening ITRV The Complete details of the assessee are as under: PAN : XXXXXXXXXX Name : XXXXXXXXXX DOB/DOI : XX-XX-XXXX Please provide us the solution at the earliest. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will receive an email from the IT admin regarding solution.

and if the file is of Form 26AS and you are unable to open that...then it is the problem of reseting of password:

 

then just go to Form 26AS registration site and click reset password

 

after reseting your password please also tick aginst sending reset password to your mail.

I dont think it is a bogus email, since it mentions my acknowledgement number also and the file name has the PAN card number.

I have asked two CA and they are also facing the same problem.

 

I was finally able to open the file.

The file will open *ONLY* in WinZip latest version.

Thanks a lot to those who replied :)
