Dear Sir/Madam,
Ref: HSMP Initial Approval Application with Ref No: XXXXX.
Sub: Request for your Review and Re-consideration of the HSMP Initial
Approval Application of MR.XXXXXX.
This is to bring to your kind notice that I, XXXXX, have applied for the HSMP Initial Approval on the 5th of XX 2007. I was provided with a reference number: XX and on the 21st XX2007, a decision was made on my Application and unfortunately, my Application was refused.
REASON FOR REFUSAL
I have provided you with my last 12 month Original salary slips as 1st Evidence.
I have provided you with my Original IT returns (ITR1) for the financial year 2006-2007 as 2nd Evidence.
My application was refused with a reason stating that SARAL form is the acceptable evidence towards Tax return from INDIA and that the ITR1, which I have provided as an evidence for Tax return, is not acceptable. Hence no points for previous earnings category were awarded.
MY CLARIFICATION
Income Tax Department of India has amended the rule concerning the forms used to file Income Tax returns with effect from 14th May 2007.As a result of this amendment in the Income Tax rule, the SARAL form is now SCRAPPED and is REPLACED with 8 other types of forms.
They are ITR1, ITR2, ITR3, ITR4, ITR5, ITR6, ITR7 & ITR8.This amendment in the rule is officially published with the title,
INCOME-TAX (FOURTH AMENDMENT) RULES, 2007
NOTIFICATION NO.169/2007, DATED 14-5-2007
And is available in the Income Tax Department’s official website,
http://law.incometaxindia.gov.in/Taxman ... aspx?md=31
with topic title Notification: 169; Date of Issue: 14/5/2007 in full detail.
I am including the relevant excerpt from the amendment, for your perusal and reference.
INCOME-TAX (FOURTH AMENDMENT) RULES, 2007
NOTIFICATION NO.169/2007, DATED 14-5-2007
In exercise of the powers conferred by section 295 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961) (hereinafter referred to as the Act), the Central Board of Direct Taxes hereby makes the following rules further to amend the Income-tax Rules, 1962, namely:-
1. (1)These rules may be called the Income-tax (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2007.
(2) They shall come into force on the 14th day of May, 2007.
2. In the Income-tax Rules, 1962,-
(a) for rule 12, the following rule shall be substituted, namely:-
Return of income and return of fringe benefits
12.(1) The return of income required to be furnished under sub-section (1) or sub-section (3) or sub-section (4A) or sub-section (4B) or sub-section (4C) or sub-section (4D) of section 139 or clause (i) of sub-section (1) of section 142 or sub-section (1) of section 148 or section 153A or the return of fringe benefits required to be furnished under sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) of section 115WD relating to the assessment year commencing on the 1st day of April, 2007 or any subsequent assessment year shall, -
(a) in the case of a person being an individual where the total income includes income chargeable to income-tax under the head salaries or income in the nature of family pension as defined in the Explanation to clause (iia) of section 57 but does not include any other income except income by way of interest chargeable to income-tax under the head income from other sources, be in Form No. ITR-1 and be verified in the manner indicated therein;
In accordance with the above amendment, All the Salaried Individuals (who doesn’t have income other than salary) now will MANDATORILY have to use form ITR1 to file their Income Tax returns and since I am a salaried employee I had to use form ITR1 for filing my Income Tax returns. After submission we are given an acknowledgement receipt with all standard earning details duly sealed by the Tax Official, which is the Income Tax return document.
I wish to bring to your kind notice that any salaried employee, who is filing his Income Tax returns in India after 14th May 2007 will be using only ITR1 because it is the appropriate form under the Tax Department’s directive and No one can get IT returns on SARAL form because it has become NON-EXISTANT. Its usage now could be Illegal.
Moreover the Original ITR1 document which I have supplied as the 2nd piece of evidence should be acceptable because it is in proper compliance to the definition of a “Tax Returnâ€
