I received below messages from Income Tax Department. 18-March-2020: Attention (AOZPXXXX9A), Your PAN has been flagged for not filing of ITR for FY 2018-19. Please file your ITR or submit online response under e-Campaign tab on Compliance Portal (CP).

Please file your ITR or submit online response under e-Campaign tab on Compliance Portal (CP). Access CP by logging into e-filing portal (My Account) - ITD 23-Sept-2020: Dear AXXXXL KXXXXE - Income Tax Department has received information about high value transactions relating to XXXXX1429X in FY 2018-19. However, as per records available, ITR for AY 2019-20 has not been filed. Please file your ITR by 30.9.2020. You can view transaction details and submit online response under e-Campaign tab on Compliance Portal (https://compliance.insight.gov.in) - ITD These messages mention that I have not filled my IT Return for FY 2018-19. Also, high value transactions relating to credit card bill payment, which I made during the FY 2018-19. During FY 2018-19, I was in Singapore and was working there. Technically I was an NRI and that is the reason I had not filed the IT Return. Also, I was not having any income in India during the FY 2018-19. For this period, I have paid income tax in Singapore (as per Singapore government rules) and have filed the returns there. I have all these income tax documents with me. During this period (FY 2018-19), my family was using my credit card to manage their expenses. The amount of high value transactions, which IT Department mentioned is about 1400000 and its valid. This amount was used by family back in India during the FY 2018-19 to manage their expenses. Please advise what should I do with respect to the messages received from Income Tax Department. How to reply to them and convey my message to them.
You mean I need to submit online response under e-Campaign tab on Compliance Portal and no need to file the IT return? Is this correct understanding?
Yes, you can revert and keep the Singapore tax filing documents ready in case if they ask. There is no need to file returns in India since the credit card was only used by dependents
Hi
Login to your income tax portal and choose the compliance portal tab. Submit the response on the compliance portal.
If this was just relating to 14 lakh and you havent earned any income in India you can simply reply against the compliance notice that you were not required to file the return as you were NRI and not required to file Income tax return.
It is a normal campaign being run by Income tax department.

No need to file the IT return
Hello,
You are required to submit your response on the compliance portal. Declaring that you were NRI and didn't have any taxable income in India. There is no need to file the income tax return.
I hope this answer satisfies your requirements.
