I have received a notice from the Income Tax office for Non filing of Income Tax Return for the financial year 2013-14 (A.Y 2014-15). As per Tax computation and calculation my salary income coming under Non taxable limit.

Anyhow, I would like to file Income tax return within the time limit mentioned within the notice.

My question is if I file IT Return before 20 days from date of notice. What should I furnish as my response in compliance module of the e-filing portal. Could I furnish a response as 'Return has been filed and my acknowledgement number is so and so'? Expect hear from you soon.

First file your ITR as you still have time till 31st March 2016 to file belated return even if such notice wasn't received. After filing ITR, efiling module will automatically pick the ack no and date of filing. Submit that as response.

Before filing return of income, kindly ensure that no other income other than salary which aggregately exceeds the maximum amount not chargeable to tax in the respective year.

After your e-filing is done, automatically the flag will be frozen as return has been filed and shall be populated the acknowledgement number. only you have to respond in the next module wherein the information related to self or not then click submit button.

Thanks

Yes, in line with the reply given by the learned members, who have suggested you to comply with e-filing. Just as a matter of fact, it is also important for you to check for any TDS credits as per Form 16 is getting reflected in your Form 26AS in TRACES. You need to identify is there any other credits sitting in TRACES before filing your return.

Dear Sir,

For your information, the reply letter is not now necessary. only the E-response is enough. After submission of E response, then the case shall be transferred to the jurisdictional AO from CPC, Bangalore. Then you will receive a notice from the AO in case of any discripancies exist.

Thanks
