Government Acknowledges Error in Advance Tax Communication Sent to Taxpayers
New Delhi, March 15, KNT: The Income Tax Department has issued a clarification after several taxpayers reported receiving emails containing inaccurate information regarding “significant transactions” as part of the ongoing Advance Tax e-Campaign for Assessment Year 2026–27.
In a statement, the department acknowledged that certain communications sent to taxpayers contained incorrect details and advised recipients to ignore the earlier email messages while the issue is being addressed.
The clarification comes after taxpayers raised concerns about discrepancies in emails referencing financial transactions attributed to them under the advance tax campaign.
Officials said the emails were part of a routine compliance initiative aimed at encouraging taxpayers to review their financial records and ensure timely advance tax payments.
However, the department said that due to an error in the communication process, some of the messages included inaccurate transaction details.
“The department thanks taxpayers for bringing this error to our attention and regrets the inconvenience caused,” the statement said.
Authorities said the issue is being addressed in coordination with the service provider responsible for the system.
“In the meantime, taxpayers are requested to kindly ignore the earlier email communication related to the Advance Tax e-Campaign,” the department said.
Officials clarified that the purpose of such communications is to act as a facilitative reminder rather than a notice of violation.
They said the messages are intended to help taxpayers review financial information available with the department and ensure appropriate advance tax compliance where required.
Tax authorities also advised individuals to verify their transaction details directly through the official compliance portal.
According to the department, taxpayers can access the relevant information through the “e-Campaign” tab available on the Income Tax e-Filing portal.
Officials said the system allows taxpayers to check details of transactions reported by financial institutions and reconcile them with their own financial records.
Authorities urged taxpayers to rely only on official channels and to verify information through the government’s e-filing portal before taking any action.
The department also assured that corrective steps are being taken to prevent similar issues in future communications. [KNT]

![PCC Asks DC Pulwama to Shut Down Illegal Brick Kilns, 18 Brick Kilns Face Regulatory Violations, 7 Listed Without Consent Pulwama, Aug 8, KNT: Pollution Control Committee has asked Deputy Commissioner to shut down illegal brick kilns in South Kashmir's Pulwama district. The latest status of brick kilns operating in south Kashmir's Pulwama district has revealed serious regulatory concerns, with 18 units listed either without consent, with expired Consent to Operate (CTO), or under a “Refused” status. The status details show that seven brick kilns are listed as operating “Without consent”, indicating that the units do not have the required regulatory consent to operate. The seven units are Dar Brick Kiln (415) at Alliepora Shahoora, LBK changed into Bhat Brick Kiln (151) at Nownagri Pulwama, Kamran Brick Kiln 777 at Parigam Newa, Budshah Brick Kiln at Audoora Pulwama, JKB Sanzan (151) at Astapora Sanzan, 417 Brick Kiln changed into 7HH at Achan Litter Pulwama, and Five Star Brick Kiln at Wahipora Pulwama. The list further shows eight brick kilns with expired CTOs, meaning their consent to operate has lapsed. These include Hilal Brick Kiln, Allie Brick Kiln, Bashir Ahmad Magray, Sunflower Brick Kiln, Jalal Brick Kiln, Magray Brick Kiln, Thoker Brick Kiln (A-No) and Shahoorа Brick Kiln (ATM). Another three units have been marked “Refused” in the consent status. These are Mir Brick Kiln at Hastikhud Zadoora Newa, Gulmour Brick Kiln at Tumchinowpora and Dar Brick Kiln at Tumchinowpora. The status as per the news agency Kashmir News Trust also contains brick kilns holding valid CTOs, indicating that the regulatory violations are not uniform across the district. The findings assume significance in view of the Jammu & Kashmir Pollution Control Committee's direction to the Deputy Commissioner, Pulwama, to initiate action against brick kilns operating without the requisite permissions and in violation of environmental regulations. The presence of multiple units with expired or refused consent, besides those listed without consent altogether, raises serious questions over their continued operation and the effectiveness of regulatory enforcement in the district. The concerned authorities are now expected to verify the operational status of these units and take action against those found functioning without valid statutory consent.
