• Click on the dropdown under the column “Response” and choose any of the two responses.
  Agree to addition: If you have forgotten to include income from fixed deposits etc. that are mentioned in your Form 26AS, select this option. If you agree with the demand then you must file a revised return within 15 days.
  Disagree to addition: If you have added allowances/deductions in your tax return directly and have necessary proofs for it, then select this option. Now when you disagree, you’ll see a section open where you can select from a list of reasons of disagreement.

1. Fill in the details as mentioned below: TAN of the employer (available in the Form 16)
2. Deduction made under section: Enter 192 if you have made a deduction against salary income
3. Amount paid/credited by deductor: Check your Form 16 Part A for this number
4. Nature of Receipt as per deductor: Salary (If income earned is from salary)
5. Income/Gross Receipt as per return: Enter the income after taking the deduction into account.
6. Head of Income/Schedule under which reported in the return: 1 (accepts only numeric value)
7. Reason: Select the appropriate reason and submit response against your intimation –
   If mismatch has occurred due to HRA, select the option “Allowances exempt claimed in return but not in Form 16”
   If the mismatch has occurred due to section 80 deductions, select the option “Deductions claimed in the return but not in Form 16”
8. Justification/Remarks: If you have anything specific to explain regarding the calculations or amounts considered in calculation, do mention such details there.

Note: You will have to attach the supporting documents regarding the amounts of discrepancy before you submit your response. (e.g., rent receipts, life insurance statement, home loan interest certificate, Form 16, Form 16A etc.)

•  Click on “Submit”. Once you submit your response, you will see an acknowledgement screen.

So you have to respond it in e-mode at www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in

No need to respond if its just intimation u/s. 143(1), and if there is no discrepancy between ITR filed and the assessment.
