Query on Demand Raised by AO under Section 154

Hi ,

I just have a habit of checking the income tax site regularly and last month i noticed that there was a demand raised by my Jurisdictional AO (Rajkot, Gujarat) under section 154 for AY 2007-08. I did not receive any communication regarding what the demand was for, or any calculations. Nothing is available on the site regarding the same also. 

My Query is that :

1) Can the AO raise a rectification demand for a return that was filed 12 years ago?  How do they expect us to keep records for so long to verify where the mismatch has occurred?

2) how can i find out what the mistake is, since i have moved to bengaluru since 2012 and my AO is still of Rajkot, Gujarat.

rgds,
