SAMPLE REPLY FOR INTIMATION U/S 143(1) FROM CPC-BANGLORE

• Reason 1: TDS Mismatch TDS Credit claimed in the Income-tax Return has not been considered by the Income-tax Department. There are various possibilities for this query: Viz. 
• Reason 2: Wrong data in Income-tax Return Wrong data in Income-tax Return (Difference in total Income as per ITR-V and notice of demand) While filing the return you had entered correct details & your tax was also calculated properly and the same details are reflecting on your ITR-V. But due to some mistake the amounts in ITR-V and your Income-tax return differs and therefore the demand. 

1. TDS Mismatch
   • Check the Tax Credit claimed in the Income-tax Return and Credit actually allowed by the Income-tax Department. If you want to cross check your Tax Credit then make an application with TIN Facilitation Centre (TIN FC) for Form No. 26AS (your tax credit statement issued by Government via NSDL). List of TINFC is available on https://tin.nsdl.com. Cross Check TDS details considered by you and that mentioned in the Intimation letter received by the Income-tax Department. 
   • Take photocopy of all the TDS Certificate on which you have relied and submit the copy of the same along with a covering letter (enclosed) to the concerned Income-tax Assessing Officer. 
2. Wrong data in Income-tax Return
   • Compare your ITR – V and Demand Notice and find the head of Income in which there is a difference 
   • Make a Rectification Application by writing a letter to the concerned Income-tax officer who has raised the demand requesting him to correct the mistake (Sample Letter enclosed). Do remember to give all relevant documents viz. Form 16, ITR-V, Bank statements etc for the corresponding year.
