Received a compliance email from income tax dept

ITR 3309 views 3 replies

I received a compliance email couple of days ago from IT Dept. My returns for A.Y. 2010-11, 2011-12 were not filed and moreover these are time barred now. Actually I missed them unwillingly, just because I forgot them to do, I admit this was my negligence since I was under impression that when TDS were deducted by employer, then what was the sheer need to file the returns. My mistake !! 

Now I am pretty much worried as to what will happen and how can I file these time barred returns? 

In eFiling website, my 'Related Information Summary' tab only asking about TDS information (TDS-92B) for F.Y. 2009-10 and 2010-11. My TDS and Tax Credit 26AS matches perfectly for the respective AY years 

If someone can very kindly guide me in:- 

1. What I should select in the "Response" and "Reason" under 'Filing of Income Tax Return' tab in "Submit 
Compliance Form" 
2. What in the 'My 'Related Information Summary' tab in "Submit Compliance Form" 
3. How to file these time barred returns? 
4. Is there any penalty to be incurred? 
5. How and who to approach in Local IT office? 
6. What documents are needed to file them? 

Awaiting reply.....Thanks so much in advance...

Hi! Poomi! Pranav here doing ca final. If your gross total income for both the Asst. Yrs. were lower than exemption limit then you need not to file returns for both years. Penalty under sec. 271 cannot be levied.

Dear Poomi,

First of all, if your entire tax liability of each of the year were paid by way of TDS then penalty for non-filing of return can't be levied us-271.

Secondly, Please find the attached file which contains certain conditions subject to which an Individual is not required to file IT return for the AY-11-12.

Hi even i have received the same email. Also, i had forgot to file my ITR by mistake.  Is it possible to file ITS for AY 11-12 now? My income was more than 5 lacs and hence i was supposed to file the returns.

Online it is not possible to file ITR AY 11-12 & private agents are refusing to file the returns stating that it is not possible to file ITR now.

Please advice on the next steps.
