I agree with Shri Rajan Sinha that grievances relating to manual returns filed are bit difficult to redress due to various factors such as being old, sometimes no record with the tax payer, departmental record not readily " traceable " due to changes of jurisdiction , restructuring of the department, fire incidents,flooding of record room or sometimes just apathy of department hoping that the tax payer will keep his record safely. You may have noticed that virtually every notice from AO first of all asks the tax payer to file copy of her return already filed with the department ( sometimes if it is reassessment for six years !). However, as the CBDT in it's instruction dated 20/10/2015 has given three email IDs where emailed grievance can be sent and will be forwarded to oncerned CIT/AO (apparently grievances relating to manual returns are not barred). so you may send emailed greivances at these email IDs and the concerned departmental officer (Shri Barnwal) has clarified on phone that any grievance sent at these email IDs will be attended to and forwarded to concerned officer for redressal. Please try in respect of manual returns and give feedback so that department can improve this novel initiative. more

Whatever is received online through these call centres are for the online return filed by you .But a number of taxpayers are receiving demand notice of the return filed by you upto 2010( manual return) . For this the department / heplineis asking the taxpayer to come to the Income tax ward where the return has been submitted . This is a big problem for the aged tax payers , living in places other than Delhi. more
