• How do I respond to income tax notice

Hi, I received an income tax notice for non-filing. 

I am an NRI who has not been living in India since 5 years. However, my father purchased a property and added me as a joint holder. I also sold some investments held under 80C that I had made when I was in India.

There was a dividend of about Rs. 2000 and some purchase of mutual funds for $44,323. I do not know what the purchase of mutual funds were because I have not made any purchases. Please help!

First we need to check is it really a notice for non-filing or just a reminder to file income tax return from the department because you have done some financial transaction in India.

 

Also, for which year have you received such notice?

 

Also, have you have investment of 44323 dollars? That would be around 20-25 lakh Rs. considering canadian dollar.

 

What is the source of such investment and if you have not made any such investment you must check who have reported such investment and you should deny such investment reported online.

 

I would recommend to book a phone consultation with me for a better discussion.

 

You can book a consultation here.

 

Hope you find the information helpful, if yes do rate if 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you.

- File reply against each information pointed out. The objective is to find out mismatch between assets and sources of funds. Also compute total income and tax liability.

In the above case, if your total income from the profits made from the sale of investments exceeds the basic exemption limit of Rs. 2.5  Lakhs, then you should file your IT return for the FY 2020-21.
