No lockdown for tax terrorism! Just got a backdated (Mar 15) notice to attach my bank account for a small sum (<0.5% of tax paid) which was paid a year ago and replies to 5 verbatim notices submitted in person,email,e-proceeding over a year. @IncomeTaxIndia @nsitharamanoffc
There is a refund pending which is 5x this amount. Even if for some reason you need the amount to be paid (despite already paying it), can you not net off from refund? Why attach bank account? @IncomeTaxIndia @nsitharamanoffc
Have proof of each of my notice replies and the payment challan. Tax officer has been met in person and given this in hard copy, email and through e-proceeding tab. What more do you expect a taxpayer to do? @IncomeTaxIndia @nsitharamanoffc
Due to the lockdown, the tax officer is not contactable either through email or phone number in the letter. How to resolve this? @IncomeTaxIndia @nsitharamanoffc
This gets even more absurd. They've sent 3 different demand notices (backdated) on the same date with different demand numbers for the same amount. Does it mean I pay it 4 times- one already paid and 3 new notices for the same amount? @IncomeTaxIndia @nsitharamanoffc
