Tax demand notice for ay 2007-08 and 2008-08

Dear Venkat,

kindly contact your jurisdictional AO to get the details for the demand...once the details are known, solution can be thought of.

Dear Venkat,

Contact your Jurisdictional AO in order to get the details of demand raised.

Dear Venkat,

Firstly, kindly confirm under which section is the notice issued to you. 

Secondly, check your outstanding demand on the incometax efiling portal. If the letter is genuine, there will be outstanding demand shown on the portal as well. If the demand is confirmed, contact the Assessing officer and also your tax professional for the return filed for the respective periods.

The possibility is, that the demand has asrisen coz of error in filing returns(as you are saying there wasn't much income to be taxed in those years).

All the best!

Dear Venkat,

If the demand letter does not mention any section/provision of the act, or any explanation as to how it was computed, I doubt that the notice is genuine. Is there a jurisdiction of AO mentioned in the demand notice? If yes, visit the AO in person to get explanation. take your computation of income for the respective years along with you to support your claim if any.

Regards.

Dear Rashi,

Income tax department has been collating outstanding demands (which till AY 2009-10) were in manual records into online system.

This has resulted in old outstanding demands being raised now and are typically under section 143(1)/143(3).  Most of the demands for salaried class are on account of wrong TDS returns.  But you still gotta approach the AO for resolution.
