An intimation from the Income Tax Department is sent to a taxpayer when the Department has found an error with the income tax return you have filed. Common cases when notice for defective return is sent:
– when you have filled up details of taxes paid, but have not provided income details, the Income Tax Department deems it defective.
– A notice for defective return is sent when tax deducted has been claimed as a refund, but no income details are provided in the return.
– The Department sends you a notice for defective return under Section 139(9), when you haven’t paid your taxes in full.
– when you are required to maintain balance sheet and profit and loss statement, but haven’t attached them with your income tax return, the tax return is declared defective.
– the name mentioned on the income tax return does not match with the name on the PAN card.
It's only for Defective returns
