Dear friends,

 

Kindly guide me on the followings:

 

I had submitted my return of income for A.Y.2008-09 well before due date; explaining my income and the resulting refund claim. I’m male and of 21 years of age. Particulars of my return are as follows:

 

            Short Term Capital Gain u/s 111A                    Rs. 1,13,006

            Income from Other Sources                              Rs.    42,163

                                    GROSS TOTAL INCOME            Rs. 1,55,169

                        Less – Ded. u/s 80C                             Rs.      4,860

                                                TOTAL INCOME             Rs. 1,50,310 (Rounded Off)

 

Now I had pre-paid taxes to the extent of Rs.6262 by way of TDS & Advance Tax. So I computed the refund of Rs.2110 and filed the return.

 

Today I received the intimation u/s 143(1) for the demand notice u/s 156 which mentioned as follows:

 

Returned Income:         Rs.1,50,310

Assessed Income:         Rs.1,50,310

Net Agri.Income:          Rs. NIL

Special Tax Income:     Rs.40,310

Special Rate Tax:          Rs.4,031

Total Prepaid Tax:        Rs.6,262

 

Demand Tax:                Rs.15,331

Education Cess:            Rs.460

Interest

u/s 234A                      Rs. NIL

u/s 234B                      Rs.1235

u/s 234C                      Rs.488

 

Total Tax and Interest Due        Rs.17,514

Net Amount Payable                Rs.11,252

 

Now how is it possible? I just can’t understand this computation of arriving at tax payable. Kindly advise me what I should do now. Should I pay the huge sum demanded by ITD or should I go for an appeal to commissioner? If I should go for appeal then let me know the procedure for the same.
