22 June 2018 My friend who is a salaried person, received IT notice for non Filing of IT RETURN for FY 2015-16. His TDS is deducted from FY 10-11 till date, and still he hasn't filed even a single Tax Return.
What are the consequences and solution?

22 June 2018 For salaried persons, it is not mandatory to file return if TDS is already deducted from the salary.
