Income tax notice 143(2)

Dharmesh Jayaswal (Querist) 02 October 2014 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,
I havce recieved a Notice from ITO under above subject for AY 2012-13 and AY 2013-14 simultaneously on 30th Sep 2014.
I have filed the return for the same on 28th March 2013 and 30th March 2014 respectively.

It seems this might be fake notice as
1. It has come via mail incomtaxofficer1.2@gmail.com and not via any official ID.
2. There is no reference number mentioned in letter.
However I back checked via internet that the name and tel number of the AO is correct. I have tried to call but no one responded.

DO you think the Notice is valid for FY 2012-13?

1. If you have filed returns for the F.Y. 2013-14 as well as F.Y. 2014-15 and that does not therefore invite any notice from the I.T.

2. These are computer generated e-mails and hence there are no signatures and so in that case since your have already filed your current F.Y. 2014-15 as well return for F.Y. 2013-14 you need not take cognizance of such e-mail. Even when you contacted on the telephone numbers mentioned in such e-mail and even if the telephone numbers as found by you are correct but you had no response then your suspicion that such mail can be fake or even erroneous is valid.

3. For a notice to be legal it has be in written on hard copy and not through e-mail.

Dear Rohitji,
Thanks for quick reponse.
It seems, I could not explain you my case clearly.
I have recieved the letter as attachment via above email for notice under 143(2) as 1961 act.
The letter also contains the signature.
But only thing is that I have not recieved any hard copy.
Do you think such mail shall be come through official ID or personal ID is also allowed?

Dear Mr Vijayan
I have checked that in general notice u/s 142(1) comes with the Email ID mentioned by u.
Do u think the notice u/s 143(2), must also come from the same ID???

Sri Vijayan.A (Expert) 04 October 2014
All correspondence are from the same site.
i.e., cpc.gov.in.

So in your case, leave it as it is.
Also forward a copy to CPC, Banglore for their information and further action at their end.
