What does Intimation U/S 143(1) of Income Tax Act mean?

View Comments

• This is really confusing situation …
  What should we do against this notice ?
  The “E-Proceedings > E-Assessment/Proceedings” section displays message as ‘No records found’
  All the tax calculations and deductions are in order, and as mentioned in this article, looks like the IT dept software bug has caused this issue

  Can we ignore the notice safely OR wait for further clarification / correction letter fro IT dept ?

  Please advise ..

  • It takes 2-3 days time to display after you have received notice. Wait for a few days because you would not be able to do anything today as the servers are already down!

• Hi, Same query, where it says:
  Form 16A/16-Other Income: 0 / 211730 / 211730.

  Here I deposited 1.5L cash during demonetization period in my bank a/c.
  Bank have already deducted interest on FD/SB gained interest.

• Dear Sir,
  May I ask you to please do clarify that in ITR Form-1 there is column B1. Income from Salary / Pension where we enter the Chargeable Income of Form 16, is it CORRECT?
  Secondly, in Tax Detail page, there is column Income under Salary [(Col 3)] where we put the Chargeable Income, is it CORRECT? or, if we give Gross Salary / Balance then it causes error message like You have declared less income or, income mismatch. So, which is correct to enter.
  Last one, where we should put interest income from Saving Account, in Income from Other Source or some where else?
  Regards,
  Ram

  • Yes you can put salary income at both places same else it gives error.
    Interest in savings account goes in income form other sources. However you can claim tax exemption up to Rs 10,000 u/s 80TTA

• I had received 143(3) intimation as below:-

  Form 16A-VI Deduction 106758 76754 30004
  2 Form 16/16A-Taxable Total Income 519560 549565 30005

  The difference in 16A-VI deduction is that my company did not take into account of my wife's PPF subscriptions for the year in form 16. so i added it on filing the return.

  could you advise how to respond to this intimation? where should i attached the proofs for PPF account and form 16?

  Regards
  Antony

• Hi, I also received the same notice and while checing in E-Proceedings > E-Assessment/Proceedings section, I found message of 'No recrods found'. I called to Call center no. 18001034455 mentioned in the communication and they told that ignore this communication for now and they will send the revised communication further. I also noted down the complain no. while call. I request you to check E-Proceedings and call to Call Center if that is the case for you.

      • HI Amit,

        Thanks for your prompt response. I have gone to e proceedings where i have to submit my response.

        There three columns are there for each two options are the agree/disagree for additional income
        1) proposed addition of income due to PF 262424 agree/disagree
        2) proposed addition in Gross total income 262424 agree/disagree
        3) proposed addition in taxable income 262424 agree/disagree

        If i have to submit my response i need to select agree/disagree option all options are correct, but if i select all in the bottom all the amounts are becoming cumulative and a note is coming like " an additional income of 787272 appearig in form26AS/Form16/Form16A shall be added as the samehas not been included in computing the total income in the return"
        The amount should be 262424 but instead of it it is getting added for each selection is it a bug in ITR site what should i do for this ? please suggest

        • There is bug in the module. You can refer to our post on How to Respond to Notice u/s 143(1)(a)?.

      • You'll have to file revised returns including PF withdrawal. Then pay taxes if any. This is easy but do it as soon as possible.

• Hi Sir

  I got the mail from Communication u/s 143(1)(a)

  Income as per return : 275630
  Income as per form : 281540

  Proposed additional of Income : 5010

  For that 5000 I invested in PPF for the month of Jan Feb March 2017. So I believe it should be deducted as per 80C

  So why they are showing for additional Income Please advise what should be done on this .

  Thanks
