I have received a letter from IT that 31991/- is outstanding tax demand under sec 143 (1) for AY 2008. I am very confused as website is also showing same. I have checked my Form 16 for FY 2007-08 and it shows Tax payable as 31039 and TDS as 38217/- so it clearly shows refund of 7178/- . However I dont seem to remember if I have filed return for year 2007-08 nor I have any proof of challan. What shall I do in this situation ? Please help !!!

It is possible that the credit for the TDS has not been appearing in Form 26AS. Ask your company to rectify the e-TDS Return for the said period. .

Thanks Paras. Online Form 26AS is not accessible for 2007-08 so cant check it.. But my form 16 is showing TDS with exact challan numbers and dates ..Should I send Form 16 to IT deptt in reply to that letter and say my refund is due ...?

You can ask details of TDS deposit/TDS certificates from your employer and explin the same to your assessing officer by directly going to him or can also take professional help.

I talked to ITO and he said, you should come with acknowledgement of Return filed for both years. I have acknowledgement of FY 09-10 but not of FY 07-08. Problem is that I dont remember I have filed return for FY 07-08. Can it be filed now ? I have both Form 16 and Form 26AS..for FY 07-08

First you find out whether you have submitted the returns for the years for which demand is determined or not and what was the tax liability and what was TDS. You can collect the details from he concerned ITO and match the same if there is difference the adjustment has been correctly been made.
Now you can file physical return for 2007-08 for claiming refund it cannot be filed online

Thanks SS Agarwal. How can I physically file return of 2007-08 for claiming refund of 7178/- ? I am in Gurgaon and don't have time to go to New Delhi Office..Can it be filed with help of some CA in Gurgaon. Do you have some references that you can mail me to sumitkumargupta at gmail dot com ?
Outstanding demand is still showing in website and CPC is regularly adjusting refunds for this year against invalid outstanding demand.
