• Non-filing of ITR

I have been into service since 2005. Since 2010 have been in the taxable income slab and TDS has been continously deducted from my salary since 2010. I have never filled ITR.i have just received a notice from IT deptt for not filing ITR(2013-14) and to submit the compliance report. after that i make registration on efiling portal and filled the ITR for current year(2015-16).
What should i do. Kindly explain.

In the present case you need to file ITR for the years where TDS has been deducted by quoting the notice received from the department. It should be filed manually with the Income Tax Department.

Kindly file your returns of Income for assessment years 2013- 14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 and file compliance report.

You can file IT Return for Asst yr 2014-15 also. In respect of IT Return for Asst yr 2013-14, you cannot file it now as it is time barred.

In the compliance report, you may mention that the return was not filed as the tax was deducted and there was no additional tax liability or claim for refund. Though there is no tax implication, still there is a technical issue of non compliance with the statutory provisions, you may have to pay penalty for non-filing of return, as and when it is demanded.

In this case since your income exceeds the maximum threshold limit , you should have filed the ITR . Although your income is salary income and your TDS on the salary has been deducted , you should have filed the ITR .

Now you can file your ITR . However you can also file your ITR for FY 13-14 beside FY 14-15 . After filling the ITR for FY 13-14 you can present it to the department . What other question in the compliance report has been asked please clarify .
