Respected Sir,
I have my Income Tax Return filed for year 07. During this tenor I was working with Infosys and was on work deputation to UK. When I filed for IT Return for the said year, I found out that the tax paid by me with respect to my investment Under chapter VIA exceed and was suppose to get my tax refunded. First the case never came up till Dec then I was asked to submit the required set of documents necessary to my declaration which was done on time. In between the IT Officer changed and Ms. Geetha Devi took over as IT Officer looking into my case and that is where the problem started. First I was told that Infosys has calculated wrong HRA and I should get the details of their HR Calculation sheet. I was dump folded hearing the same. But never the less I got in touch with the Infosys IT Department and asked for the clarification. I was told that all the calculations are done as per the company and IT rule and there is nothing wrong in any calculations from their end. When I communicated the same to the IT officer, she abruptly asked me to forget about this query. Then I was told that my salary which has incentive based does not form the definition of the salary as per IT department and I should submit / show my employment letter to the officer. I am not sure why is this being asked, anyways I provided the same. Then I was asked to provide my current (Chennai) rent agreement as one of the document to support my declaration of 07. When I questioned the logic of the same, I was told that she is the one doing the assessment and she can ask for any papers she wish for. Well after providing all justified and unjustified document. I was provided with assessment order in December in which in place of refunding the amount I was told to pay surplus of Rs5000 to IT department. When I raised the question why the same has happened after I provided all the proof / document. I was told that she is the assessment office and she has the right to what ever she wants and the documents provided was not enough. When I inquired which document she is referring to, she told me that the bank account statement of my salary account has some transactions which I have loaned from my father and returned back within months time is not convincing (transactions were i nterms of Rs 5000 - Rs 10000) and she wants to inquire my father bank account. My father was a state government employee who retired in 2007.
I now have absolutely enough run out of patience with this IT officer. After 3 years of tax filling I feel I am being simply being harassed and this lady has her own agenda. I would request the grievance cell to look into this matter urgently and provide me with justice.
Thanks & Regards
Vivek Verma
