I have recently shifted from Delhi NCR to suburb Kolkata and have not yet been able to get an address proof to get the income tax PAN database updated. Since I will be claiming a large refund this year due to payment of stamp duty, there is a high probability that I may be sent a tax Notice for this year. I am very worried that I may not get the tax Notice since it may go to the old NCR address instead of coming to the new Kolkata address. I will give the correct new Kolkata address at least while filling the Income Tax Return Form electronically for this year. I have been filing my returns electronically for the last 5 years.
I have the following questions: Q1. To send a tax Notice, will the income tax Assessing Officer take my address from the PAN database (which is the old address) or will he take the address from the Latest Income Tax Return Form filed by me (which is the correct new address) ? Q2. Will the Assessing Officer also send an EMail to my registered EMail address to inform me of the tax Notice so that I do not miss it ?

generally notices are marked to the PAN address. however, these days notices are sent over email as well shown in your incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in
