Mumbai : Nowadays Income Tax Department is issuing letters to taxpayers demanding them to pay tax which they already paid. These letters being sent out as a result of the income-tax department moving on to a computerised system, wherein taxes cut by your employer and those with whom you share a business relationship get listed under your name.
