Hi,

I am facing an serious issue. I am working in an Software MNC.

In 2013, I had filled the IT return twice under same PAN number.

I filled the IT Return online based on my salary. On the other side one of my relative who maintained my IT file also filed an IT Return manually based on other income in same year. We both were not aware that we both are filling an IT return. these was discovered when i talked to my relative. This continued for 2 years.

I am also not able to see the the IT return that was filled manually in my Online Account (in IT portal). therefore, i am completely confused whether manual one do not show online or manually it was not filled? or the manual one got rejected?

One of the CA told us that filling IT return is a huge issue and there can be a fine too. Is he correct? What is the solution to resolve this issue? How can i get it resolved what are the steps do i need to take?

Dear shiv yes it can create problem if you are having different income information in returns filed by you online and in manual but if there is no amount tax payable on you then not to worry. I can only suggest you to wait for intimations and processing of your return. I hope this will help you. Regards

Thank you Manoj for your quick reply. I did not understood the line "if there is no amount tax payable on you". does it mean if there is no due that i have to pay??? Can you please elaborate a bit? Does manual It return dues not show in online account? Thanks once again

Dear shiv i mean the returns filled should be identical and with nill tax payable amount. If yes, then no problem. Secondly manual return are not available on your id.

Now in this case they will consider the return which is filled earlier under sec 139(1) and other will not be entertained.

In my Online account status is "ITR Processed". Even i received the LTA that i filled bit late. I did not received any demand letter. what is demand letter?

Only i received an email where they acknowledged me that my return was credit to my account.

My Relative is very much concerned. He was maintaining the manual file from 3 years showing different income.

How to get it resolved?

Dear shiv if your return is processed then i think the manual itr got rejected. Now in coming year do not repeat the same mistake also if any tax demand letter received then only it can handled. Or if you more details on it then you can call on cpc Bangalore call center.regards
