LETTER [F. NO. DIT(S)-III/CPC/2013-14/UNPAID SELF-ASSESSMENT TAX], DATED 22-10-2013

I have been directed to inform that a number of e-Returns have been submitted for A.Y. 2013-14 where unpaid self-assessment-tax existed on the date of submission of e-returns. As on 9-10-2013, total 1,46,495 e-Returns of A.Y. 2013-14 were submitted with unpaid self-assessment-tax of Rs. 100/- or more on the date of filing.

2. The PAN-wise data for A.Y. 2013-14 for assessees who have not paid self-assessment-tax (Rs. 100/- or more) on the day of filing of their e-returns is placed on i-Taxnet (http://10.152.2.10/) in the following path :

Resources → Downloads → DIT_SYSTEMS → Unpaid Self-Assessment-Taxes in e-Returns of AY 2013-14

3. As per law, these e-Returns are deemed defective returns for AY 2013-14. The CPC at Bangalore has already issued notices to such assessees. It is requested, that, the Assessing Officers in respective regions may be directed to issue notices and follow-up these cases to ensure that unpaid-self-assessment tax is deposited by the assessee at the earliest.
