It added that such communication is just an advisory and is being sent in only those cases where there is an apparent significant gap between disclosures in the ITR & information as received from the Reporting Entities.
“The objective of the communication is to provide an opportunity to taxpayers for voluntary correction by reviewing their AIS & facilitate them to provide their feedback online on the Compliance Portal of Income Tax Department &, if necessary, revise their Returns already filed OR to file the belated Return if not filed, so far,” I-T department wrote.
It also reminded that the last date for revising or filing belated return for AY 2025-26 is 31st December 2025. The I-T Department has requested taxpayers to respond promptly via Compliance Portal if discrepancies exist or ignore if their filing is correct.
