Old Tax Demands Resurface on Income Tax Portal

Old tax demands from 10 to 15 years ago are suddenly appearing on the income tax portal.

Many taxpayers are surprised because they never received any notice about these demands.

The interest on these old taxes has grown so much that it is sometimes more than the original tax amount.

This is happening because the Income Tax Department is putting old records into a digital system.

Taxpayers who did not get the original notices cannot appeal, and the interest keeps adding up.

Meanwhile, the department is also investigating people who have claimed false tax deductions to reduce their taxes or get refunds.

They are using advanced technology to find these irregularities.

Taxpayers are advised to check the portal regularly and seek help if they see any demands.
