•Income Tax Department is sending notices/emails to ITR filers with high incomes and discrepancies.
•Notices aim to allow taxpayers to correct unintentional errors, avoiding future penalties and legal issues.
•Common discrepancies include undisclosed income, foreign assets, incorrect tax exemption claims, and mismatches with AIS/Form 26AS.
•Department uses Annual Information Statement (AIS) to identify mismatches between filed ITR and available data.
•If you receive a message, check for a Document Identification Number (DIN); respond to official notices after authenticating on the IT website, and beware of fake emails.
