Q. Why have I received the above notice?
 A. The notice is received only because you have not filed your Income tax Return for FY 2014-15 till date. Since, the last due date (belated) to file such pending Return is fast approaching (31.03.2017), the Department proactively have sent a reminder to all such taxpayers.

Q. What do I need to do?
A. You need to calculate your tax liability and file the Income tax Return immediately. Failure to file an Income tax Return may expose you to penalty. Meanwhile, you can log in in your efiling portal and under Dashboard you'll see the pending compliances part. These pending compliance shall include the above mentioned notice. You need to click on the appropriate response which will be 'already filed the Return', 'not yet filed the Return', 'In the process of filing the Return' etc.
