Hi,

I live in the UK. Last night one of my friends called me to help her solve the following issue.

My friend's widowed mum lives in Gurgaon. Her husband left her some money which has been in a bank account for a while. Suddenly, the IT dept has asked her to file returns as per the attached letter. The old woman is very worried as the letter clearly gives her 10 days' time.

My friend was very stressed and I gave her an assurance that I will find out what should be their next step. But, the truth is I know zilch about such things. I hope some kind people here would help.

Thanks and hugs

Autumn

No need to worry. If she don't have taxable income in that year, she has to submit compliance under compliance menu after logging into income tax website. She don't need to submit income tax return if she don't need to file return

For more information and procedure to file compliance you check this link How to handle notice received for Non-Filing of Income Tax Return

If there is n personal taxable income of the concerned person since 2012 there need not be any issue. Login to efiling site and reply to the compliance notice. Also if possible write a letter in reply to this letter as to why return was not filed that year with reason and send the same by registered post to the address from where the letter has come.
