Our article, income tax notice for Inconsistency in Salary Income and Form 26AS explains Income Tax Notice for Inconsistency in Salary Income and Form 26AS explains 

For Income Tax Department their source of your salary income is Total amount Paid/credited in Form 26ASQuick e-File ITR option on incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in of ITR1 picks this amount in”Income under Salary” column.

  • It is not INCOME CHARGEABLE UNDER THE HEAD “SALARIES” (3-5) from Form 16 
  • It is not “Income under the Head “Salaries” of the Employee(other than from perquisites) Form 12BA

So if you look at Form 26AS and Part A which shows the TDS details your Income from Salary should match the amount mentioned in the Total amount paid/credited,

If your Income under Head Salaries in ITR does not match Total Amount Paid/Credited in Form 26AS you would get this notice. Income from Salary is filled in two places in ITR or Income Tax Return, one in Income from Salary and other TDS details. 

You have to Disagree to the notice and revise the ITR. Income from Salary is filled in two places in ITR or Income Tax Return, one in Income from Salary and TDS details.

ITR1 is simple, You need to enter the value of Total tax credited from Form 26AS in Income from Salary and fill the TDS details as per Form 26AS as shown in the image here

ITR2 needs a break up of the income in Schedule S. If you don’t have any prerequisites then just deduct the professional tax from the Income as shown in the image here.

  • Banks deduct TDS on interest only if the interest amount for an FD is greater than Rs.10,000 per year. The rate of TDS deducted by banks is 10% on interest income, provided your PAN number is available with the bank. If the bank doesn’t have your PAN in its records, TDS is deducted at 20% on interest income.
  • If you submit the Form 15G/Form 15H to the bank declaring that since your taxable income for the year will be below the minimum tax slab, the bank shouldn’t deduct TDS on your FD Interest.
  • The interest that is earned on fixed deposits is taxable in the hands of the depositor as per the income slab so a person who earns income between 2 lakh to 5 lakh pays only 10% tax on it while the person who earns above 10 lakh pays 30% tax.   Individuals in higher tax brackets like 20% or 30% need to pay Self-Assessment Tax over and above the TDS deducted on their interest income

    • Agree to addition: If you have forgotten to include income from fixed deposits etc that are mentioned in your Form 26AS, select this option.
    • Disagree to addition: If you have added deductions in your tax return directly and have necessary proofs for it, then select this option.
E-Assessment proceedings select response agree or disagree
E-Assessment proceedings select response agree or disagree

Note: In many cases we have come across the calculations are faulty. An example of it is given below. Column 3, Variance, does not take – sign. Actual difference should be 1

640090 790091 -150001
150000 0 150000
Total -1

Or in the following case where the person has claimed less income in ITR than what is in Form 16 and Income Tax Department will still be adding the income.

  • Total salary in return is 423828.
  • While Form 16 says 425472
  • Form 16 Salary Income and Form 16 Gross Total Income is repeated. So either Form 16 Taxable Income should be taken.
  • Difference i-ii=423828-425472= 1644 and not 1644. 
So basically Govt owes person refund, by this calculation

  1. i recieved intimation under 143(1) (a) and i was unable to respond within 30 days and now i see that there is a action to add authorised representative? what does this mean> what should i be doing?

    • What did the notice say? You can mail the notice at bemoneyaware@gmail.com
      The response received shall be considered before making any adjustment. In case, no response is received within 30 days (thirty days) of the issue of this intimation, the return of income will be processed after making necessary adjustment(s) u/s 143(1)(a) of Income Tax Act, 1961 without providing any further opportunities in this matter.

      Sadly there is no way to reply after 30 days. The link for e-proceedings gets closed.
      We expect that You should get another email/notice from Income Tax Department asking you to pay extra tax for which demand was raised. You can expect Notice under Section 143(1) /Section 139(9). If you get Demand Notice earlier Income Tax Department allowed one to pay the outstanding tax if you agree or you can reject the Outstanding demand. We are not sure if this option would be available.
      If you have missed the communications because your Mobile or Email Id was not set up then either check the status regularly by logging to Income Tax website, going to My Account >> e-Filed Returns/Form . Or setup Mobile and Email id for receiving SMS and emails from Income Tax.

      (Save the documentation)
      Do you have Form 16?
      You can reject the demand saying that you filed ITR as per Form 16.
      And you have asked your employer to correct the data. Upload the documentation

I have disagreed and requested them to subtract the, cost of acquisition reported in the statement. Is my reply ok, and will they reply? Please advise.

  4. I have received 143 with an additional refund than what I have claimed just 3Rs difference to value. If I agree to notice then do I need to submit revised tax? Or just agreeing to notice will suffice to process refund

  5. Hi,

    I have submitted ITR for assessment year 2018-2018, ITR has been processed and got mail and message stating that there is refund value confirmation on 12-07-2018, however when I rechecked (vi) Income chargeable under the Head ‘Salaries’ (i+ii+iii+iv-v) value has updated after deducting HRA as per Form16, mistakenly again shown in 80GG-Rent Paid. Please note that I didn’t got refund amount,

    Can you please explain the below doubts.

    1)Ca n I get refund?
    2)Do I need to re submit the ITR after refund or they will hold my refund and adjust it?
    3) Is there any chances of getting notifications on this erroe.

  6. I have to respond as ‘Disagree’ to CPC communication, as the variance is due to the allowances exempt u/s 10 which I’ve not explicity mentioned while filing ITR, but are available in my Form 16. I just used the figure from “Income chargeable under the head salaries” section and filed returns. So how do I attach Form 16 in my response because I didn’t see any option/way to do any attachment?

      • Ok.. Thank you for the suggestion.
        -In the suggested link article it says” For example: If a Return of Income for the Financial Year 2015-16 or Assessment Year 2016-17 is filed by the assessee on 28th July 2016 (before the due date of filing of Income Tax Return i.e.5 th Aug 2016), and he later discovers some mistake, he can file a Revised Return of Income Tax anytime up to 31st March 2017 or before the completion of Assessment whichever is earlier.”
        -My case is for FY 2016-17, (FILED ORIGINAL ITR-2 on 28 July, 2017 before due date) , in this case can the revised return can be filed on May 31st 2018.
        I received mismatch notice on April-7, 2018. Please suggest.

        • You have received IT mismatch notice and you agree with it hence you have to revise your ITR within 30 days of receiving the notice under section 139(5)

    • Hi,

      I have got the same notice and need to respond in next 5 days for mismatch due to considering salary post Medical and Transport deductions – basically only considering “Income under the head Salaries”. What is the reason selected in the reject options as I do not see any matching reasons under us 10. Can we use “others” as the option?

      Also 2nd query. Can we reject without really filing the revised ITR since we have received the notice post 31st March in May?

      Thanks

      • You cannot reject the notice. You have to agree or partially agree or disagree
        The Income Tax Notice, a notification from IT department is regarding inconsistency between salary income and Form 26AS in ITR. The breakup of salary in ITR2 is not shown properly. You can disagree and give the reason as missing HRA /Professional Tax. We would recommend agreeing as the problem is that salary details have not been filled properly. Adding the missing details does not incur any tax liability. You have to file the revised return only.

  7. I have to respond as ‘Disagree’ to CPC communication, as the variance is due to the allowances exempt u/s 10 which I’ve not explicitly mentioned while filing ITR, but are available in my Form 16. I just used the figure from “Income chargeable under the head salaries” section while filing returns. So how do I attach Form 16 in my response because I don’t see an option/way to do any attachment?

  8. I have to respond to CPC intimation 143(1) a.
    I have to disagree and file my reason under section 10(11) for PF amount deposited by employer.
    I have the proofs as well, but for this option there is no ways to attach the proof document.
    Should I just submit the reason with the difference amount
    Please let me know how to attach proof.

    • If you withdraw from EPF before completing 5 years of continuous service, TDS will be deducted. In calculating 5 years of service, your tenure with previous employer is also included. If you transfer your EPF balance from old employer to new employer and your total employment is 5 years or more, no TDS is deducted. Do remember that you must calculate exact 5 years, there is no grace if you are short by a few days.
      ow TDS is deducted and which components are taxed.

      Your EPF payout has 4 components.

      Your contribution/employee’s contribution
      Interest on your/employee’s contribution
      Employers contribution
      Interest on employer’s contribution
      Your contribution/Employee’s contribution – This is the amount contributed by you to your EPF. This portion of your withdrawal is not taxable. However, if you have claimed deduction under section 80C on your contribution in earlier years, you may have to pay additional tax as if 80C was not claimed by you for those years.

      Interest on your/employee’s contribution – This portion is taxed as income from other sources.

      Employer’s contribution and interest on employer’s contribution – Employer’s contribution and interest on it is fully taxable. It is taxed under the head salary in your tax return. When TDS is deducted on it, you are likely to see an entry under salary TDS in your Form 26AS for it.

      You can claim relief under section 89(1) on these balances

  9. Hi, request your attention here.
    I received an intimation today from the Income tax department reason being “Income appearing in Form 26AS which has not been included in computing the total income in the Income Tax Return – uls 143(1)(a)(vi)”
    It is nothing but the FD interest income i received in the last financial year. What should I do now? Should I agree or disagree? In case I agree, is it correct that I have to file revised return? But if in case I disagree which appropriate section should I fill and where can I provide the total TDS details (Tax deducted on total return earned out of FD) or attach any proof to justify the same?

  10. Hi,request your suggestion.I have read the respective info on your website but not exact one.
    Issue :
    I got an intimation about mismatch in income from per 26AS.It is nothing but the FD interest income i received.I declared the tax deducted on that FD,however not added the interest income to total income.It is true.
    When i agree the same ….
    a- Should i file the return again ?
    b- If i file return ? Will it be a late filing ? I filed in last july on which i received an intimation now? If i file revised return..when will i get the refund ?
    c-I heard that,If i do not respond, They will refund the amount after adjusting the same. Infact,here total income differs but not my refund.

    Thank you in anticipation.

  11. After receiving notice under 143(1)(a) due to variance in income as a mismatch with 26as, If I need to pay additional tax by filing revised return – then under which section the revised returned will be filed ? Also Do i need to pay interest under section 234(A) on the additional tax that need to be paid (considering the original return was filed timely )?

  12. Today I recd a notice highlighting difference in income in return, against Form 26AS, which is now ‘variance’. This is nothing but FD interest in bank accounts. I had included all details in ITR1 TDS sheet, but not in ‘income from other sources’ field in main ITR sheet. Do I need to refile the ITR? Please help. Thanks for your response.

      • Interest in Fixed Deposit is taxed as per your income slab.
        If interest is more than Rs 10,000 in a financial year then TDS is deducted at the rate of 10% and if PAN is associated with FD it appears in your Form 26AS.
        In your case, as TDS was deducted Govt knows that there is FD income.
        As you have not declared the total interest in your ITR it finds the variance and has sent you the notice.
        If your income is more than 5 lakh a year you need to pay more tax.
        Our article Fixed Deposit , Interest , TDS, Tax,Income Tax Return, Refund covers it in detail.
        If you can send the notice and Form 26AS at bemoneyaware@gmail.com we can tell verify it for you.

Any action required from me…Please suggest and also submitted proofs

  15. Hello,

    I received communication for proposed adjustment u/s 143(1)(a) and responded appropriately around end of July 2017. However I’m yet to receive any response till date (29th September). I’m due to receive significant refund from income tax and is waiting patiently regrading the same. Should I wait little before contacting IT department? Kindly advise.

    Regards,
    Ranjeeta

  16. I got an intimation notice 143(1)(a) on 26th July. I have filed revised return on 3rd August, after paying necessary demanded due tax mentioned in that notice 143(1)(a). I also received intimation 143(1) recently for my revised return processed and showing zero demand.
    But surprisingly, till now i have a pending same intimation notice 143(1)(a) displaying in my IT login profile under e-assessment/processing menu.
    can any body suggest, how should I respond this notice, as i can not be now ‘agreed’ for the demand as already paid due tax amount and filed revised return. Also that revised return is processed successfully with zero demand. I don’t see any suitable listed reasons as per my case to submit response. should I respond this notice or leave it for CTC to withdraw this notice.

    • Ok as e proceedings is a new thing no one knows how to proceed.
      One problem in replying to the notice is that If you reply to intimation then you might have to file the revised return within 15 days.
      Or as notice is wrt to demand raised on 26 Jul you can agree to it and later if approached say that you have filed the revised return.
      Or you can let the proceedings link remain as such what matters is that you don’t own any tax.

  17. I also have received 143(1) and submitted the response successfully as well.
    But there is no update on the filled return. I was about to get some return from Income Tax dept and I have submitted the 143(1) response more than 40days ago. But have not got any process update from Income Tax not received the amount to be refunded.
    Could anyone please guide me through on this?

  18. I received a 143/1 intimation. I forgot to reply back within 30days. Is there some way I can do it now? It was basically a fixed deposit interest entry that I had missed to add in the filing of my returns. Can I e-file again?

    • No, sadly there is no way to reply after 30 days.
      The link for e-proceedings get closed.
      In your case, as the demand was justified you should get another notice from the income tax for payment of extra tax.

      • Sadly there is no way to reply after 30 days.
        As per the income tax notice
        The response received shall be considered before making any adjustment. In case, no response is received within 30 days (thirty days) of the issue of this intimation, the return of income will be processed after making necessary adjustment(s) u/s 143(1)(a) of Income Tax Act, 1961 without providing any further opportunities in this matter.
        We expect that You should get another email/notice from Income Tax Department asking you to pay extra tax for which demand was raised. You can expect Notice under Section 143(1) /Section 139(9). If you get Demand Notice earlier Income Tax Department allowed one to pay the outstanding tax if you agree or you can reject the Outstanding demand. We are not sure if this option would be available.
        Our article If you did not respond to Communication of proposed adjustment u/s 143(1)(a) discusses it in detail

  19. Hi All,

    Thank you for this post. Today( 24th of Aug) I have logged into income tax website to check my ITR status and to my surprise there is an Communication of proposed adjustment u/s 143(1)(a) on 23rd July. I couldn’t submit any response under e – Proceedings , looks like 30days time limit is over. What am i supposed do now? 🙁 , the notice says differnce in gross and taxble income with respect to Form 16 and Return.

    Have already called CPC toll free no and was told someone will get back to me on this.

    i am much worried about below point,

    The response received shall be considered before making any adjustment. In case, no response is received
    within 30 days (thirty days) of issue of this intimation, the return of income will be processed after making
    necessary adjustment(s) u/s 143(1)(a) of Income Tax Act, 1961 without providing any further opportunities in this
    matter.

    Appreciate your help in this regard.

    • Oh..Did you not update your SMS and mobile number in income tax efiling for communication?
      Is the eProceedings link still active? If yes try submitting the return?
      Do you agree/disagree to the addition?

  20. Hi,
    I have received u/s 143(1)(a) notification.

    I have filed a revised return because of a mistake in 80C seciton for which I received the above notification.

    Since now I have filed a revised return and net amount payable is zero (TDS already deducted by employer), do I need to respond to the notification?

  21. I had queries in few option and confused what to write in response of 143 (1)(a). I just send an email with screenshot and my queries to bemoneyaware@gmail.com. i got response with solution within 2 hrs. I never excepted response so fast.

    This was really fast and these guys have been really helpful.
    Thanks a lot guys!

    Income as per Income as per Proposed addition of
    Return Form income
    1 Form 16A-VI Deduction 160000 0 160000
    2 Form 16/16A-Taxable Total Income 397980 557977 159997
    Addition of income appearing in Form 26AS or Form 16A or Form 16 which has not been included in computing the total
    income in the return-143(1)(a)(vi)

  27. hi,
    I too have got a notice from IT department stating that the deductions shown in my Form 16, do not match with those entered in return. This is technically correct but I disagree with this, as I really have made investments under 80 C that don’t reflect in Form16.
    Apart from this, there is one more row for mismatching taxable income, which is obviously a result of the above mismatch! (bizarre!!!) So if I correct one mismatch, the other should be gone!
    Now, for FY 2016-17, I have 4 sources of income:
    – Salary — TAN of my company
    – FD interest from 2 TANs of Bank
    – PF withdrawal — TAN of PF office reflecting in form26AS

    I understand that I have to disagree under eAssessment, but do I need to add 4 rows – one for each TAN in my clarification in eAssessment? If yes, what should be the inputs? Kindly reply.

    Thanks
    Sunit

    • Can some one please reply to this? I have less than a week left to submit my answer to the IT department.

  28. Sir, first of all appreciating the efforts taken by you. This blog is very much informative and helpful. After receiving the notice, I have inquired with two consultancy agents and 1 C.A.

How can I know response from IT.

    • Hi,
      I got notice from CPC under “adjustment u/s 143(1)(a)”. I made donation & I added it under sec 80G while filing returns. These donations are not visible in form16.

      • 1. TAN : Do I have to give employer TAN here?
        YES
        2. Deduction made under section : What should I write here (should I write Sec 80G)?

        4. Nature of receipt as per the deductor : What should I write here?
        Donation or Deduction
        5. Income/Gross Receipts as per return : What should I write here?
        Your income that you filed in ITR
        6. Head of Income/Schedule under which reported in return : What should I write here.
        if it accepts Alphanumeric characters write Chapter VIA/VIA
        or else if you are It affects your salaried income so write section pertaining to Income from Salary so 17

        Please attach proof of donation

        • Hi,
          I got notice from CPC under “adjustment u/s 143(1)(a)”. I have interest from savings account of Rs 43,520/- & I made deduction of Rs, 10,000/- under sec 80TTA while filing returns. These deduction is not visible in form 16. I need clarification how should I file my response using “e-Assessment/Proceeding” under the “e-proceeding. I need to fill below section while filing my response in “e-proceeding” & need to know what should I fill in below field while responding in “e-proceeding”.

          1. TAN : Do I have to give employer TAN here?
          2. Deduction made under section : What should I write here (should I write Sec 80TTA)?
          3. Amount paid/credited by deductor : What should I write here?

          5. Income/Gross Receipts as per return : What should I write here?
          6. Head of Income/Schedule under which reported in return : What should I write here.

          • It is important to reply if you have not got the revised Notice.
            Technically as one has to report TAN the input should be from the deductor perspective.
            People have replied using TAN of employer and Income from Other sources/salary
            They were able to submit their disagreement.
            Yet to get update on their submission.
            Important is to attach the proof.

            If you choose Nature of receipt as OTher income then Head of income should be 56
            If you choose Nature of receipt as Salary then Head of income should be 19

            Reason can be either of these.
            Deductions claimed in the return but not in Form 16 or
            Income is not chargeable to tax/exempt

            1) TAN : Do I need to fill Employer’s Tan for savings account interest?
            Yes

            2) Deductions made under section: 80TTA

            3) Amount paid by creditor : Do I need to enter my full salary paid or Rs. 779 which was the interest?
            it can be 10000/
            Technically from form 16/Form 26AS the amount you earned as salary

            4) Nature of receipt:
            Other Income/Salary

            5) Income as per return :
            what is mentioned in your ITR or notice or the row .

            6) Head : 56 (as it is savings account interest)
            or 17 as it is salary account)
            56/17

            7) Reason: Deductions claimed in the return but not in Form 16

            Deductions claimed in the return but not in Form 16 or
            Income is not chargeable to tax/exempt

            For the proof document, you can download Interest certificate from your netbanking account.
            Else just take images of your bank statements.
            Make a zip file and submit the proof.

            If excel does not work
            Then modify the Justification/remarks to show Interest bank wise
            and Make a zip of all the bank statements.

            Note:
            Do not use special characters (Example :~,@,#,$,%,^,&,*.(,),”) and Double Spaces. You would get Invalid characters in input message.

  30. Guys,

    E-mail your issue with snapshots to bemoneyaware@gmail.com.I have got my issue resolved and submitted successfully by sending snaps highlighting the issue to the said e-mail.The experts who are opering this site are quick to reply to any queries coming from anyone.At the end, Thanks bemoneyware for resolving my issue with this communication.

  31. Today i got the final ITR processed copy in which everything is correct. Earlier, I had got the notice on 23rd Jul’17 u/s 143(1)(a)(vi) but as i had filled everything correct in return and many had shared that there was system error in income tax department, i had not replied yet. As the CPC, Bangalore has processed my return without my reply to their notice and issued me initimation u/s 143(1), it is clear that they have accepted their mistake. Now I dont need to reply to the earlier notice 143(1)(a)(vi). Same was confirmed by CPC, Banglaore over phone when i contacted them today morning. They told that first notice was sent to you by mistake and as your final assessment has been done and intimation issued, i dont need to do anything now.

    • Thanks Varun for the details, I am in a similar situation, can you share the follow-up email that you received from IT department.

      • The email i got from income tax department was nothing but communication of “ITR processing completed”. It contains a pdf document issued u/s 143(1) which we get every year on final assessment. The amount filed and the amount computed by system are matching and there is neither any demand nor any refund. Earlier it was not updated online but today when i checked, it is updaed online and is showing as “ITR processing completed”.

  32. I got the same notice. In my case i forgot to add income from a Form 16A for my SBI FD. They sent me the form late.
    But I too am getting three rows. So only the first one is correct and other 2 are just repercussion of that form 16A.
    So how to respond agree to one and disagree to another 2? Or any other way?
    PLEASE HELP!

  33. I am an pensioner and got notice for difference of Rs 153875(PPF 150000 and SB into 3875)wnich not reflect in Form 16 so please clarify the below mentioned point
    Point to be clarified
    1-what to be mentioned in colum Head of account /Nature of receipt for pensioner
    2-Whether I can upload more then one documents for proof
    3-What document to be uploaded for 80TTA proof
    4-whether 80C and 80TTA will be mentioned in one line or separately by adding one more colum

    • Sorry sir that you had to go through this ordeal.
      We’ll try to help.
      1. Head of account/Nature of reciept Pension is same as Salary. Try Pension else salary.
      2. Try uploading more than 1 proof. If it accepts well and good. Else zip it up and upload. (No format or size is specified)
      3. For 80TTA upload passbook/bank statement
      4. Technically should be shown as separate rows but then how to get TAN of bank is the question.

  34. I have also received same Communication u/s 143(1)(a) from income tax department.
    I have included below two deduction which is not mentioned in Form16
    1. Stamp duty & registration
    2. Home loan Interest

    And also I have included FD interest income in my return filed and bank already deducted TDS.

    Now, I want to say “Disagree to the addtion”, so for that I need to add two reasons for disagree using two TAN one is my company and another is bank.

    And which amount I need to enter in “Income/Gross Receipts as per the return” column or I need to enter income after deduction above claimed amount or before claim.

  35. As per Form 16 issued by my employer:

    INCOME CHARGEABLE UNDER THE HEAD “SALARIES” : 1,234,567
    Deduction under 80C: 150,000
    Total Taxable income: (1234567 – 150000) = 1,084,567
    ———————————————————

    Now, I have income from interest on savings bank accounts: 12,000

    Hence in ITR1, I filed as below:

    Income from Salary: 1,234,567
    Income from Other Sources: 12,000
    Gross Total Income: (1,234,567 + 12,000) = 1,246,567
    Deduction under 80C: 150,000
    Deduction under 80TTA: 10,000
    Total Deduction: 160,000
    Taxable Total Income: (1,246,567 – 160,000) = 1,086,567
    ———————————————————

    Now, I have received a communication with mismatch of 10,000 in my total taxable income (only one row).

    Income as per Return: 1,086,567
    Income as per Form: 1,096,567
    Proposed addition of income: 10,000
    ———————————————————

    I decided to disagree with following answers:

    TAN: TAN of employer
    Deduction made under section: 80TTA
    Amount paid/credited by deductor: 12,000
    Nature of receipt as per the deductor: Other Income
    Income/Gross Receipt as per return: 2,000
    Head of Income/Schedule under which reported in the return: Other Income
    Reason: Deduction claimed in return but not in form 16
    Remarks: Rs 10,000 deduction claimed under 80TTA.
    Attachment: Manually created excel file with breakup of Rs 12,000 interest credited by date and bank account.

    – Is it correct ?

    Thanks.

    • Yes this is correct.
      Check if Head of Income/Schedule is ACCEPTING ONLY NUMERIC VALUE and you cannot leave this field blank!
      If yes then
      change inst Other Income (includes interest) – 56

  36. 1-what to mentioned in head if account it onlyvaccept number
    2-whether 80c and 80tta can be shown in one colum or separate column
    3-can we upload more then one document for proof.
    4- what document can be uploaded for interest proof 80tta

    • 1. A reader said that Now it is not compulsory to enter numeric only in Head of income field. If it accepts numeric values a CA has suggested following. There are sections of Income Tax which corresponds to the Types of Income. With no clarification from Income Tax Department.

      Salary/Pension – 17
      Capital Gains – 54
      House Property – 24
      Business/Profession – 28
      Other Income (includes interest) – 56
      2. whether 80c and 80tta can be shown in one column or separate column
      Depends on the income. If you can attach a picture or mail it bemoneyaware@gmail.com we can suggest better
      3.can we upload more then one document for proof.
      For different rows yes.
      If for same row then you can make a zip file and attach it.
      4- what document can be uploaded for interest proof 80tta
      The bank statement showing the credit interest.

  37. Hi All,
    Is anybody able to submit the response with “Disagree to the addition”? As I am getting an error from server ” There is invalid characters in input” while submitting the response, so just wanted to confirm whether everyone is facing the same issue. Pls let me know.
    Thanks All,
    Manoj Nair

    • Try entering the numbers under Head of Income/Schedule. It is ACCEPTING ONLY NUMERIC VALUE and you cannot leave this field blank!

      A reader said that Now it is not compulsory to enter numeric only in Head of income field.
      If it accepts numeric values a CA has suggested following. There are sections of Income Tax which correspond to the Types of Income. With no clarification from Income Tax Department.

    • I am also getting the same message while submitting – “Invalid character(s) in input”
      Please advise where is the issue. What to do ?

      • Try the following numbers based on Income Tax section
        Salary/Pension – 17
        Capital Gains – 54
        House Property – 24
        Business/Profession – 28
        Other Income (includes interest) – 56

    • Hi Manoj,
      I believe your issue is due to 1% TDS rounding off and the transaction amount added to your income during property purchase.
      Could your please let me know the values for different fields while responding to e-proceeding response in disagreement.
      Thanks,
      Inder

  38. Thanks, Amlan – Finally I got your videos, was waiting for this to be released. Now I can file e-proceeding without panic.

  39. Thanks sir, I got lots of information.
    I have made two mistakes 1) I have not submitted all required documents for 80c to my employer and in ITR I have claimed all amount for 80c

    2) there is also calculation mistake in 80c what I have submitted in ITR

    I have got notice so what to do in such case? Should I have to submit the revised return and may I submit 80c proofs (which I have forgotten to submit earlier to my employer.) with revised return

    My question is if I am submitting revised return in this case is it necessary to respond on eproceeding link.

  42. Hello all,
    I have received a similar notice due to the 1% TDS rounding off issue on amount paid to builder.Now the whole amount is coming up as an income in my name in section A2. Please keep us updated if any one finds a resolution to this. I have approached 2 CAs and both have the same opinion that it’s a system issue and nothing can be done by us.

    3. Exempt under Section 10(32) – Clubbed income of 2 minor children

  50. Excellent video. Thank you so much!

    My case: I opened PPF account in Mar’17 much after my employer asked for investment proof. Hence these PPF deduction under 80C do not reflect in my Form16. Now during efiling, I claimed benefit under 80C. Hence the 143(1)a notice is genuine in my case..Right?

    Now I will be selecting “disagree to adjustment” and I will upload PPF account statement alongwith selecting “Deductions claimed in return but not shown in form16”. If you can explain what all I need to fill in other entry like TAN, etc in remaining column in this case, it will be very helpful to everyone.

    Thanks very much
    Raghav

    • Even I am in the same situation. I don’t have TAN. So should it be the TAN number of the employer as given in Form 16?

    • Hi,
      Please let me know if you got any solution to your query.
      I also received the same notice for my PPF account which I opened this Mar’2017. Now apart from TAN Number, Section to Claim and reason I am not pretty much sure what to fill in other columns.

  51. Hello,
    Like others, i too have received an email.
    But there is nothing appearing in eProceedings section.

    So should i wait for further communication , or atleast the link to appear?

    Thanks
    Rohit

  52. your blog to reply income tax notice u/s143(1) is worthy to be appreciated.WHAT PROOF IS TO BE SUBMITTED FOR REBATE U/S 80TTA

  53. 1. “Head of Income/Schedule under which reported in the return”.
    2. “Nature of receipt as per deductor”.

    Please advsie what to fill in these columns.

  54. I too got the same intimation. Contacted several time including this morning, as per CPC all pending cases are being taken into process again. So they told that we need not to reply.

    • For me too, I got a intimation regarding adjustment, I called CPC,BLR. They told me not to reply or rectify anything, rather we need to wait for few days. We will get a revised mail.

    • I got a response, not to respond, as this was intimated to almost everyone. They said that department is reviewing and wait for a communication.
      Bottom-line: Nothing to be done at this point in time, until further communication. This was a generic response, and not specific to my case, so it applies to all.

  55. There’s a field which says “Head of Income/Schedule under which reported in the return”. In your tutorial video, you mentioned to enter as “Salary” but it expects only Numbers.

    What should I enter ?

    • Bemoneyaware Team,
      Can you please help on this regard? Not sure what to fill up in these two sections!!
      1. “Head of Income/Schedule under which reported in the return”.
      2. “Nature of receipt as per deductor”.

    • We are not sure as this is still new.
      If you agree to an addition that means you have more income and tax liability has increased.
      So you actually have to pay more tax and then update your ITR.
      I think you can revise your return with old values and submit again.

  56. Hi,
    I too received the communication u/s 143(1)(a) after filing returns. The difference was due to saving account interest which did not show up in Form 16. However, in the e-assessment/proceedings, by mistake I agreed to addition instead of Disagreeing to addition.
    Is there any way I can fix this?
    Thanks

    • What needs to be in this case? I have same case, recd the notice today. Should I disagree? FD interest amt, which i showed while filing return, CPC is claiming as other income now.

  57. Hi All,

    I opened eNPS account in March’17 and it was opened after my company collected all tax saving details from employees. During return filing I claimed eNPS contribution as part of section 80CCD1B and I got above notice. When I am submitting the response , I don’t know what TAN is for eNPS and what all to fill in reason for disagreement section.

      • I also received the same for exact reason that Ronak Patel mentioned. But have not received any revised notice. It’s already 15 days and not sure how to disagree and provide all the information

  58. I also got same letter. But in my case I shown in returns in 80c which is not shown in form 16.
    so the letter is correct right in my case ?
    And do I need to upload all documents which I shown under my 80C ??
    or only which are not shown in my form 10 (not submitted to my company) ??
    And in portal we have only one file upload option ???

  59. Vedio is very nice and gives lot of information for tax payers. Its really Gr8.
    I have some problem to share regarding my IT returns.
    By mistake(I forgot), I have not included FD interest income in my return filed.
    Bank already dudected 10% but I fall in 30% income bracket and I am salaried employee.
    Now I have got this notice(143(1)(a)). All the calculation are right in the notice sent by IT dept.
    But If I say “agree to the addtion” in response in efiing website , addtional income adds up 3 times at bottom. example if I have bank interest income of 10K and if I agree to it(by selecting), then it adds up 3 times and becomes 30K addtional income as it has 3 rows. Where as it should have been showing only 10K as adtional income from Bank interest.

    I am not sure why IT department has done this calculation mistake.( I say blunder).
    Now I am not sure how to go farward. Should I wait for IT dept to correct it or should I proceed? Please advice.

  60. I got the same notice and I was told to wait for the next communication . My question is Can i file revised return?

    • Pls check in itr1 schedule what income you have filled . By default it takes the amount as shown in 26As where as it should be filled from form 16 I.e after subtracting all your deductions u/s 10 I.e HRA , travelling allowance children education etc you can revise

  61. Can any one give the CPC helpline number. I received the Communication u/s 143(1)(a) from Income tax office, but whatever I filled in the return and Form 16 is correct.

  62. I too recieved a intimation from IT dept u/s 143 (1)(a) –

    In my case, the amount I had paid to the property builder was added to my income. Here’s the explanation –

    I had deducted Rs 10731.3 as TDS (1% of transaction amount of Rs 1073130) while making payment to a property builder. I paid the same through HDFC net banking, however while making payment 10732 (rounded off to the next higher digit). Subsequently I downloaded the Form 16B which correctly showed the TDS amount of Rs 10731.3 and sent to the builder.

    Now, in the Form 26AS, there are two transactions showing against the same Acknowledgement Number. One transaction showing transaction amount as 1073130.00 with TDS deposited as 10731.30. The second transaction is showing the
    transaction amount as 1073130.00 with TDS deposited as 0.70 with both Deductee and Deductor as my name.

    Therefore, in Section A2 (For seller of the property), there is a record showing my name as Deductor with my own PAN No. Similarly, there are two records in Section F, one showing Builder name as Deductee (with TDS as 10731.3) and another showing my name as Deductee (with TDS Rs 0.70)

    Any idea on how should I go about correcting this ?

    Thanks.

    • I faced the similar thing. I went to e-processing to submit response but could not do it as wrt Justification they are asking TAN number, which would not be available as there is no such transaction and I have not sold any house.

      • Guys have you found a solution to this one? According to me we did the right thing by paying the TDS. Why should the demand show up as income for us?

        • We need to wait for revised notice. Today I have talked to CPC,BLR. They told me to wait for some time and not to act anything now.

    • Hi Inder,
      I am in the exact situation. Have you found a solution to this?
      Really appreciate any help in this regard.

      • Not yet able to resolve anything. I called up at the customer helpdesk and they told to wait for revised notice from their end. I have taken a ticket no as well for my future reference. Meanwhile I am also taking this up with the TDS dept as correction needs to be done at Form 26AS as the installments paid to the builder should not be reflected as our income in sec A2 of Form 26 AS. I have written an email to them and waiting for their response.

        Anyone else able to resolve it. Let us share the exact steps here for all of us who have paid 1% TDS towards purchasing a property and the transaction amount is added to their income.

        Will keep you all updated.
        Thanks.

        • Dear Inderji,

          Facing the same condition of 1% TDS amount paid to builder, total transaction amount added in the Income.

          • Hello,
            I have called up the TDS helpline and they confirmed me that Form 26AS is fine and this should be taken care by IT dept. I am presently waiting for a revised intimation from them. Btw, I checked that e-proceeding link has become active for me. I am not sure if I should respond to that or keep waiting.
            Thanks,
            Inder

    • I too got the intimation for the exact same situation.
      Actually, they have credited back excess TDS amount on our name whatever we have deposited (in my case 0.50 paise). They have generated a TDS certificate on our name so that we claim the same while filing return. Because of that, it is started reflecting under part A2 of 26AS form. This is their process.

      As per me it is an issue with their software. It is a logical issue as they can clearly identify by checking the Part F of 26AS form that it is not an income.

      I tried to submit with option “disagree with adjustment” in e-proceeding section but it is always giving error “Invalid character(s) in input”.

      Please help if anyone found the solution and able to submit.

      Thanks

    • I also has similar issue. When i clicked on Reference ID under proceeding section it is giving error page. I called customer support. They are asking us to wait.

          • Notice is not is not correct. I got notice for the money i paid to my builder.
            I guess some more people got similar notice. I am finding it difficult reply on eproceeding section as it does not cover this case. Please help me if you have solution for this.

  63. I have faced the same thing.I received the same notice, but there is no link in E proceeding. They told me to wait for the next communication. But my question is that can i file Revised return now ? before next communication?

    Please Reply

  64. I have also received such notice. Whereas I have filed the returns correctly, the notice has been sent to me by clubbing the Exempt Income (For Reporting purpose) too and thus the difference. Can you pls. help me to draft the reply for e assessment/proceeding.

  65. Hi All, I called them up and i must say that their customer care center was very well equipped with a response.
    My Query – I have received this email communication on 143 (1) (a) but the link is not yet active as i cannot see anything in the ‘e-proceeding’ section. What do i do next?

    Their response – The CPC is in the process of sending across a revised communication to all who have received this email. Please don’t submit a response in the portal until you receive the second communication – for those who can see the response in the portal. The second communication is revised in its content and it is specific to each individual, so they will not be able to comment on what we might expect in the second communication – mostly it will be REVISED.

  66. Hi,
    I have taken a LIC policy in Mar17 and that have not been shown in Form16. I have filled the returns (2017-2018) including that policy under 80C and i supposed to get the refund of some amount. Now i got the intimation 143(1)(a) from income tax Dept. asking to respond on this. Can you please Help me out on this. Do we have any option in income tax portal to upload the proof of documents.

    Regards,
    N chakravarti

    • Just wait till the e-proceedings appears and then follow the steps given in the above website using reason “Deductions claimed in the return but not in Form 16”. Also attach the proof in the attachment section.

  67. Most of the people who are salaried/Pensioners are getting intimation u/s 143(1)(a). IT department (e-filing) is pointing out additional income which is actually deductions under chapter VI-A in which deductions u/s 80C, 80D, 80TTA etc and IT department has considered it as “Zero” as per there record of form 16 / Form 16A . Which shows that C.A. of company / bank has not uploaded annexure-II along with quarterly return of Form 24 which includes such details of deductions which employee has reported to his/her company/bank who is responsible for issue of Form 16 bearing Part-A and Part-B. IT deptt is sending notices to such persons whose return is not exactly matching with Form16/16A. From A.Y. 2017-18 IT deptt is matching form 16, Form16A and 26AS and giving harassment to honest tax payer of the mistake done by chartered accountant. More over website does not show any demo/instructions how and what to fill in all columns. This link is not user friendly, which is very confusing even C.A. is unable to tell it. We got duly signed Form 16 along with Part-B ( From traces) which shows deductions under chapter VI-A, we don’t understand why CPC Bengaluru said that our return is not as per Forn 16 and they say this amount also to be included in taxable income.

    • Exactly! very well said. my father, a pensioner has also got a similar email and was in panic for a while. i hope they rectify this error and issue a apology to all the concerned tax payers asap.
