75 Years Old Man Receives Tax Demand Notice After 10 Years of Filing ITR

Many taxpayers have recently posted on the social media platform, Reddit, regarding the problems they face. One user shared that his 75-year-old father received an income tax demand connected to a return filed for the Assessment Year (AY) 2014, a long time ago. The user noted, “Although it shows demand raised in 2015, the communication was just shared yesterday.” He also added, “Now my father has no idea about the Form 16 and other documents that were submitted 10 years ago.” The above situation creates an important question: Can the Income Tax Department reopen old tax filings long after they were settled?
