The Income Tax Department, on December 26, 2023 addressed discrepancies between disclosed information in Income Tax Returns (ITRs) and data from reporting entities. The department sent advisories to select taxpayers asking them to address these discrepancies and many taxpayers took to social media platform 'X' about these notices. The tax department responded to these posts saying, "Taxpayers may please note that such communication is to facilitate the taxpayers and make them aware of the information available with the ITD regarding the transactions reported by the Reporting Entities during the year."
