Success in getting back my it returns...

[SANJEEV BHENDE]

Getting an IT return is such a headache... we all know. I had not received my IT returns for 07-08 and 09-10 years. Continuous follow up by my CA to the IT office was in vain.I followed the procedure mentioned and sent a letter for the same, but no reply came from their side so decided to file an RTI application and by doing so with in a span of 20 days I was happy to find my IT returns of both the year being delivered.

Thanks to you guys and keep up the good work.

Yes sir. I just realized unless you start doing it yourself, noone is going to help you do it. Once you start it, there will be plenty of helpers. I will make it a point to spent time every day for this purpose.
