Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to respond to an Income Tax enquiry letter under section 148A(a) concerning alleged cash deposits for FY 2016-17. The individual received a notice despite not making such deposits and having only agricultural income. Key advice includes verifying details with the bank, checking PAN, gathering supporting documents for agricultural income or loans, and consulting a Chartered Accountant for proper response.

Please go and meet a nearest ca. notice needs to be seen and then replied
Dept is always correct. if anything wrong, it would be on behalf of the bank. First to check with the bank, need to verify PAN. Second, if cash deposited, need to collect supportings like sale bills of agricultural produces to show exempted income. If taken as a loan from others, produce affidavit for the same.
The problem is no one maintained a file properly. i best they can't even find bank statements of 16 17
Check if the details belongs to you by approaching the bank. If not, take letter from bank tax team. If assessment proceeds, ask officer to issue 133(6).
