Income tax demands from very old years, such as 2005 to 2011, have suddenly started appearing on the income tax portal, according to a report by ‘The Economic Times’. This is a complete shock for many taxpayers, as many of them had neither received any notice nor were aware of the assessment orders at the time. According to the ET report, in many of these cases, the interest amount has exceeded the principal tax amount, significantly increasing the taxpayers’ problems.
