Dear learned friends,

Yesterday I received an SMS stating : attn. xxx, pan no. xxx, based on the information available with IT Dept, it appears that you were required file ITR for AY2021-22, but you have not filed. please file ITR etc. I am surprised as it belongs to my wife, who did not have any taxable income. When I looked at 26AS it shows an income of approx Rs.1.70 lakhs towards interest on senior citizen saving scheme + a little from life insurance matured amount. Is it required to file ITR or simply reply in compliance portal, which says non filing of ITR status pending. Kindly advise me. Thanks

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses an SMS alert received regarding Income Tax Return (ITR) filing for a previous assessment year. The user was surprised as their wife, who had no taxable income, received the alert. Upon checking Form 26AS, interest income from a senior citizen saving scheme and a life insurance maturity amount were noted. The user sought advice on whether to file an ITR or simply reply via the compliance portal, ultimately deciding to file and e-verify, which resulted in a refund.
