- A difference in the Income Tax Return, that you have filed
If there is the difference in the amount that is declared by you in the Income Tax return, that you have filed, try to understand the difference.
Differences may arise because:
- You may have forgotten to declare some incomes, like Interest from FDs
- You may have claimed a deduction under the wrong section
- You may have provided incomplete information
Remember, these notices are generated automatically by the Income Tax Department’s software.
Sometimes you may have filed everything correctly to the best of your knowledge, but still may have received a notice. It’s always good to have an expert look at your notice and after taking the proper consultation you can respond to the notice.
There are times when the Income Tax department does review certain documents that you have provided, based on which your Income Tax return is filed. If you receive a tax notice, due to some faulty document, then in that case you are supposed to provide the correct document to the Income Tax Department at the earliest.
