I am a salaried employee. I have received a intimation notice u/s 143(1) from ITO for the A.Y 2008-09. I have filed the IT return for FY 2007-08 on 28/08/2008 and paid all the taxes including tax on interest earned on savings bank a/c and the penalty interest for late filing. My CA filed the return in ITR-1 on my behalf. In fact, there is no difference between the amounts & taxes declared in my return and computed u/s 143(1), the final tax amount payable matches exactly. only the income from other sources is shown as 0 in the declared column, but the gross total income matches. There is no additional tax to be paid. but challan no.ITNs 280 is also attached with the notice. Do I need to do anything regarding this notice? Thanks.

Please clarify whether there is any demand in the intimation and if so it matches with your computation. Please also clarify the amount shown in the challan and that matches with the tax shown in the intimation. You have stated that "no addl tax is payable" but it is not clear whether in fact the intimation contains a demand. If intimation do not contain a demand, the attached challan appears to be a mistake on the part of the Dept. You can simply point out the error thro a letter.

The notice contains only the income tax computation table with particulars such as "Heads of income", "Tax Details" and "Tax Relief" and the corresponding amounts under the headings "As provided by taxpayer in return of income" and "As computed under section 143(1)". There is no demand as such. The amounts indicated for "Gross tax liability before tax relief" is same under both headings mentioned above. The attached challan is blank and does not contain any amount.
