My daughter in DEEPA is working with IBM and she had not filed her return for AY 2011-2012. However, she thereafter filed return for AY 2012-2013 CLAIMING REFUND OF ABOUT RS.12000/-. Her claim is genuine. On verifying the status of refund it is found that IT DEPT has appropriated this refund for preceding year. It seems that this is done on the plea that IT RETURN IS NOT FILED AND DEPT IS NOT SURE WHETHER ANY TAX IS PAYABLE BY HER. In fact no tax is payable by her as she is salaries person and appropriate tax is already deducted by her employers. She has form 16 and other documents in support of her claim.
Kindly advise me the course of action to claim the refund of Rs.12,000/-

If your daughter was liable to file income tax return in last year but has not done so. Then Department will adjust refund with penalty. If she was not liable then your refund would be processed. If there is any other Query you can contact me at 9899037315.
