Many of us have already submitted IT returns without mentioning UTN in forms. In fact most of the deductors issued form16/16-A without any UTN. Banks are in the same category.
According to circular, individual wont get IT refund if he has not mentioned various UTNs.
What should be done in such a case? Should we file fresh returns after obtaining all UTNs from respective deductors?
Do we have chance of getting refund if revised return not filed?
