Actually, you have two tax statements, Form 16 and Form 26AS, which record the details of your financial records and transactions, and when you file your annual return, the tax department matches the details of your return with these documents.
If you have not filled any details, have not given information about any income, have not given information about any transaction, or have claimed excess tax deduction, then all this comes to the notice of the department, in such a situation, there is a mismatch in the return. An intimation of tax notice is sent to you.
What to do if notice comes?
If there is a tax credit mismatch in your return or you have claimed excess deduction, then you will have to file a revised return for the same. If there is any discrepancy in TDS (tax deducted at source) then you will
have to inform your employer/deductor and then file the correct return. If you get Section 143(1) intimation, you can also file rectification request. You have to show the challan in your ITR, the tax credit claimed in your return should match with the Form 26AS.
