You are supposed to pay tax and file IT return. If you don't then you might get notice from income tax department after which you will not only gave to pay your tax with interest but also pay penalties for the same .

Hi Manu,

Yes you have to file Tax returns reason-

First of all they woruld have deducted TDS on your Income and if you dont file returns, Income tax department will trace you and later you have to pay more interest on it..

You can also get notice from department for non filing return, notice for concealment of Income.

If your TDS are deducted more and you have to claim refund.
