new process of refund under the Income tax Act
Refund process under the Income tax becomes more stricter than earlier through the amended Section 143 (1) A of the Income Tax Act,
The Income tax department is suspecting that most of the taxpayers are getting refunds by declaring the taxable income comparatively lesser than the issued Form 16/16A. The Income tax department also find out that most of the salaried employees are taking credit of House Rental Allowances, Leave Travel Allowances and deductions under 80C to 80U without supporting evidences or supporting with fake documents.
To come over from this issue, the Income tax department amended section 143(1) A, where the tax payer will get intimation from the department regarding the deviation from their salary shown as per filed Income tax returns with the calculated salary as per Form 16 issued by the company or deviation from the income shown as per the Form 16 A or as per the 26 AS.

It is mandatory that the scan copies of genuine documents are available with them at the time of filing income tax returns or within 30 days from the date of notice. The actual amount of taxable income as per the Form 16 or Form 16 A will be taken for the computation and it will be processed further by the income tax department if the taxpayer not replies to the notice within the prescribed time.
