But said refund amount has been shown in Taxpayer Inormation sheet as a income under head salary if we reduce this amount than Dept may send notice for paying tax along with internet & fine

Even after I make a feedback Income not taxable and file ITR, the income tax department may raise the query and start penal treatment on me, how the same can be avoided. Kindly guide me.
