I recently checked my status on the efiling portal and was shocked to see pending Demand notice for Assesment year 2007-08 and 2008-09 for almost 1.5 lakh. I never recived these demands and I am 100% sure that these are incorrect since I am a working professional and the TDS is deducted at source . I called up the CPC helpdesk and they said that since these are for yr before 2010, they do not have the files and I need to contact my AO. Pls guide me on how this needs to be rectified ?

What documents/forms i need to fill and submitt to the Accessessing Officer to get this sorted out ?

Would really appreciate help on this matter.

I think you have submitted your return in paper. Please contact your assessing officer along with acknowledgements of the respective assessment years. This may be caused due to late filing of TDS returns by the tax deductors.

Thanks for the reply Arun but I had filed returns through IT Site(myitretruns.com) and I have the ITRV forms for both the yrs. The TDS was also decducted on time by my company Wipro and the details for the same are available in my FORM-16.

Can u suggest what all documents should I have with me when I go and meet the AO at IT office .

Thanks

Please carry the following documents before represnting to the ITO

1. A covering letter stating the issue faced by you and explaining that the dmeand raised is incorrect

2. Copy of the Screenshot of the IT portal which depicts the demand

3. ITR V acknowledgement for that particular year.

4. Form No. 26AS for that assessment year showing the TDS deducted against you PAN

These would be sufficient for explaining the ITO that the demand raised is incorrect !!

Please ensure the same is done in front of you. Its easy these days. At times, depending on the officer, they shall seek an indemnity.

I had a similar case, but i could never resolve it. It was even much easier case - where i paid the demand - but they don't bother to update their records - it just remains outstanding.

Everytime i went to meet the AO - they nodded and asked me to leave a letter, which they duly acknowledged. BUT - they never resolved it - it remains as outstanding after many years.

Worse is that - very soon 'interest' demand may appear on top of this demand.

Here is my question regarding that:/forum/outstanding-tax-demand-how-to-resolve--318807.asp

Message me if you need any info.

The pre-2010 era efilings remain in this kind of messy state for many people.

Thanks for all the response.

I have all the documents except the Form 26AS. The Income tax and CPC do not have these forms available for years prior to assement year 2009 and in my case the issue is with assement yrs 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. Any suggestions on from where i can get form 26AS ?

The Form 16 that i have from my company has the details of the tax deducted with details. Will that suffice ?
