    hi guys most of you have commented that income has doubled . it is probably a mistake in filing form bcuz you would have entered the same amount in other sources etc .check your original itr with a auditor

  2. Vivek says:

    Hi All,
    Who needs to recitfy , is it us or the blunder done by Income tax dept.
    If they are unabel to audit our returns dont be pleased that we will file the rectification and everything is over.
    Can some one tell what does filing the rectification signify?

  3. dhiraj says:

    I called up my chartered accountant and he suggested me to write a letter and attach the income tax return and form 16 and send it to them. In the mean time i called up this processing center and the lady told me that within 1-2 weeks of time they will put a rectification form on the incometax website and I can do the necessary corrections in it. I called my CA again and he said that go by there procedure now and do not write any letter to the income tax office, wait for the website update and follow there procedure for resolution. Hope it helps, please share if any one have a latest news or any procedural update.
    regards

    Hello all,
    I believe this is a problem with CPC & Income Tax Department. I don’t believe it is an issue with the deductors or the employers. In my case also, the TDS is not matching and they are charging some hefty amount as interest under 234B.

    Interestingly, I receive the form 26AS every year from them (starting 2007 I believe). The form for fin. year 2008-09 also shows the correct TDS amount that I filed against the wrong amount shown by CPC in the intimation.

    After many attempts, my call was picked up and the agent assured me not to be worried about the 30day notice. He said the rectification form would be soon available on the income tax website and then we need to file rectification online. Then they will send another intimation and we will have to act within 30 days of that intimation.

    Looks like some extra work and tension (I never would like to get into these tax issues) for us, but what to do?. We are blessed with this kind of Government and the Governance.

  5. Avinash says:

    I have also received demand for Rs.51000 for A.Y. 2008-2009.
    They have not considered any exemptions and calculated tax on whole income whereas Form-16 clearly states all the exemptions.
    When I called them, I got same answer – to wait for correction process. I have checked the govt IT website but no link still added for it. If anyone of you see this link,kindly inform others. This forum has helped me a lot, Thanks

  6. Ches says:

    Just got a notice of 70K tax liability for the year 08-09. They have
    omitted the interest paid on Home loan and slapped me with this amount
    with interest.

    Kindly let me know any proceedure you are aware of on taking care of
    this mess.

  7. dhiraj says:

    Hi Guys, the same thing with me, they are demanding income tax for the amount of around 40000/- for the year 2007-08 and more interestingly they are charging me interest on that to the tune of around 36000/-, they have slapped a demand of around 76000/- on me without any reason, they have converted my loss on house property as a profit and my entire dedductions for PF,Insurance and house loan pricipal is made ZERO,Not sure what the hell they are going to do with this, we are simply wasting our time making the paper work ready now, emailing them calling them and what all…did any one visited the office and got any clarification, pls share.

  8. Upreti KK says:

    Hi!
    I too have received intimation letter U/S 143 from CPC regarding huge out standing amount (FY 08-09) and when contacted on phone same reply ‘Wait for rectification application’ in IT site.

  9. Vivek says:

    Hi All,

    Mess has been done by Bangalore IT dept only. No other residents of India are recieving it.
    What is the meaning of Rectification? why to do this when they are unable to AUDIT the returns?
    What does the Rectification filing signify?
    How does it solve the problems?

    Please reply to all!!

    I called the same number from my cell (strange that it does not work from my office landline) and got a reference number and same funda that there will be a link for rectification available shortly in 10 days on http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in and i need to refile there
    Pls do not forget to take your call reference number!

  12. Shankar says:

    I too sent a clarification letter via Registered post for the demand notice they sent to me, but they have refused to accept the same and returned it backI. They have created big mess and harassing honest tax payers.

  13. Jose PV, Bangalore says:

    I have received a letter from CPC income Tax Department, Bangalore which claims that I have pending tax to be paid for the A.Y.2008-09.Even the deductor(Employer) deduct the tax from my salary( Form-16. I have sent the letter with clarification/proof through registered post on 20th Apr10 to below mentioned address as displayed in their letter (Centralized Processing Centre Income Tax Departmen, Post Bag No.1, Electronic City, Bangalore -560100)and the same got returned back to me on 22nd because of invalid address. Kindly suguest what sould I do.

  14. Siva says:

    I too got a letter from CPC asking for some huge tax payment. I called up the guys on 080-43456700. They said the same thing as others said. Wait for the rectification form to come up in the http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in. This is not a problem of Employer /Employee. It is huge mess of ITD-CPC. Anyway, at least they opened up a call center with some human on the other end.

  15. Suresh GF says:

    I too got a letter from CPC, AY08-09. The number provided always busy and i have got 30 days to pay.
    My taxable income is more, which i can think of may be an error though i know i computed it correctly.
    Second is Tax on Special icome. I had short term capaital gains tax and CPC computation mentions same amount but with double the tax. Also, self assesd tax and what CPC shows do not match !

    I think IT dept has created a mess and is panic as they have also added some rs. 4000 as interest under 234B.
    I This is clear case of harassing honest tax payer by showing up huge ‘Tax payeble’ without giving evidence why?
    We should be together in such instances. Otherwise, IT dept will say to pay first and then never get back to us on ratification.

  16. Shrihari Kulkarni says:

    I received IT intimation under section 143(1). I was asked to pay additional tax. When I enquired about it on 080-43456700; I have been told that on Income Tax India web site; there will be a link available as “Rectification” within next few days and we can rectify over there. The call representative aksed me to wait till I see rectification link and not to pay the tax. He also told not to worry about any delay (and so the fine.)

  17. SATISH BABU says:

    Hi I need to get a refund of around 24K for the year 2008-09 ( Assessment year 2009-10 ).

    How long will it take for the refund.

  18. veena says:

    Hi all, thansk for sharing your thoughts. i have also received such letter from IT CPC BLR. asking for huge additional Tax amount with Interest. Computation is not done similar to Form 16 – it differs. please help me how to proceed thanks

  19. Sagar says:

    Hi All,
    I also received a letter saying that interest and the TDS deducted is not matching .This is due to the typographic error while filling ITR1 form details.The First sheet is correct as per Form16 but the second sheet with same details is entered wrongly. The tax department is asking for huge refund to the extend that my income will be 100% taxable for AY 2008 -2009. Can some one suggest how to solve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

  20. Vivek says:

    Hi All,
    1) Why do we need to do rectification procedure if the problem is created by Deductor
    2) What is the gaurantee they have audited correctly and going to do correclty after rectificaton
    3)There is no 30 days mentionned in the letter. May be it is told by agents when u guys are calling
    4)This situtation i guess is created by Bangalore IT dept only
    5)Why they are coming 2 or 3k when so many bussines people are doing fraud things
    6)What they did for 1 yr when the return was filed
    7)Why the TDS deducted in F16 is mentionned as Amt Claimed in the CPC letter?
    So many qts coming in mind……

  22. ullas says:

    Hi All,

    I also spoke to them today. I think the instructions are clear now.

    They said to keep a watch on the website http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in

    They shall launch a rectification form and you can file the rectification online. if you file rectification , the 30 day clause in the current notice is void.

    So people, dont panic , please let all know once the forms are available. if anyone call again , please ask for the form number of this rectification form.

  23. Ram says:

    Most crazy thing about this is, they are yet to launch rectification procedure and they have also mentioned we need to pay the amount within 30 days of receiving the letter. Please share if someone has solved this.

  24. Mahesh says:

    I also recieved a letter saying that intrest and the TDS deducted is not matching . The tax department is asking for huge refund to the extend that my income will be 100% taxable for AY 2008 -2009 :(, Did any get any help , please advise what is the best way to file rectification filed . Thanks in advance

  25. Ram says:

    Hello all, Me too got the letter from CPC. This seems to be a mass error from the IT dept and even after many got the letter, they are still issuing. We need to understand where & who have gone wrong. This coud be result of less knowledge of filling the form as the govt changed the ITRs during this period, or the negligence by dept in handling the taxpayer’s returns properly.
    First thing i would suggest is call the number provided in the cpc and get the reference no. I heard some are e-mailing the clarifications on what went wrong to IT dept. Does any one have the E-mail Id to which we need ot communicate?

  26. Balraj says:

    Any one who filed IT returns thru online… and received your ITR-V to your mail id,

    Check the details entered by you are correctly matched with that of the FORM 16 issued by the
    employer/deductor. Ask the employer or deductor to provide the complete details of the tax
    deducted and deposited, with acknowledgement numbers.

    If you have necessary information try reaching a reputed Auditor (CA) for help who would help
    you

  27. Pankaj A says:

    Dear All

    Pl. call 08043456700 and get reference no. for your commiunication. Income tax Dept will lauch recetifcation form Soon.

  28. Vivek says:

    Hi,
    The answer given to Deva is like creating a website and for Kumar is like publishing a form. I dont think CPC guys are aware what needs to be done. And I also think that letters are also sent to those people who filed their returns in Blore. I also read my letter but I did not find any 30 days clause on that; may be for diff conditions it may be valid. But we need to be one against this mess done.I am still in dark what I should do now!!

  29. ullas says:

    Thanks taxguru.in for providing a platform/forum to bring people agonized by this IT department mess on to one platform.

    All you guys , please stay together till this mess is cleared.
    Please subscribe to

    incometaxcpcnotice@googlegroups.com

    Remember there is a 30 day clause in the notice you have received. you need to act. But it seems for several of you they have assured to launch a rectification process.

    if we grow in numbers , we can even bring this to press notice , about this huge mess IT department has created. it’s a gross negligence on their part.

    wondering only Bangalore guys have got this ? How about others..got from other CPC’s?

  30. kumar says:

    I too received a similar letter from cpc and there is a mistake from their side. I called them up and they said they are going to publish a RECTIFICATION FORM on their website (incometaxindia) in another 15 days and I need to approch them for correction using that.

  31. Deva says:

    Today I received a letter from Centralized processing Center, this is for AY year 2008-09,
    I called up the phone number:080-43456700, spoke to the customer care guy, in the call I mentioned the Communication reference no, they said they have made a mistake , they are in the process of creating a website where in they can correct this kind of mistake. I am also clueless about this. They have also provided me a reference number for the conversation we had for this issue.

  32. Dinesh says:

    Hello Friends,

    I too got a letter from Income tax department yesterday. For me the problem is that I had two employers during that financial year. I have submitted the full TDS details along with both form 16. But the letter says that they have got only one employer’s tax. Though I have acknowledgement of full tax paid as well as both form 16 with me. How should I take it up. The letter has come from Electronic city office. Is it OK if I go to Ganganagar office and give them all the proofs. Can somebody help me here?

  33. Rekha says:

    I too got a letter from CPC saying I have pending tax to be paid. When I verfied I find that they have added my income twice!!! and made it double for the tax. I have submitted TDS details and form-16 too don’t know how to rectify this?

  34. Kiran says:

And now the question is who has to pay it – is it the pan holder or the deductor. And suppose we dont pay now then they will charge the inetret and it will become a huge money. Has any one called them and asked what to do?
    Reply soon!!
