What does Intimation u/s 143(1) mean?
One of my friends called me in a worrying voice telling me he had received an email from Income tax department with subject “Intimation U/S 143(1) for PAN ABCxxxxx4A AY:2019-20”. As with most of us, any communication from taxmen makes us worried and it was not much different for my friend.
Are you in the same boat and have you also received similar email from intimations@cpc.gov.in with similar subject? And are you worried about what it means for you?
Well worry not! Intimation U/S 143(1) is sent by Income Tax department in response to the Tax returned filed by you. As the subject suggests “Intimation” – the communication intimates the tax payer about, any tax and interest payable or if you are eligible for refunds.

Just scroll down and at the end of all calculations you would see two headings.
In case there is ‘0’ in front of both as in the picture above, it means that your tax return filing was perfect – you neither need to pay any more tax for the year nor you would get any tax refunds.
In case some amount is mentioned for “Net Amount Refundable” then its good news and you would soon get that amount in your bank account. And if “Net Amount Payable” has some amount mentioned, then you need to pay that much tax to Income tax department.
In case you think there is some error in the calculation sheet, you should consult a qualified CA or good tax expert for further action.

If I have to pay this certain amount under net payable section in assessment year 2016-2017 then am I done for this coming year 2017? Or I'd have to pay more in 2017?
This payment is for income earned in FY 2015-16 (assuming you are talking about recent ITR). It has nothing to do with 2017!
i have received an intimation but there is no diff. between income as per my return and as calculated under 143(1)
Thats good news - you need not do anything now...
I have received INTIMATION U/S 143(1) OF THE INCOME TAX ACT, 1961, Net amount Refundable is Rs. 29,740 & Payable amount is 0. May I know what need to be done next. Pse help me
Wait for the refund to come to your bank account. Nothing more needs to be done your return is processed.

As explained in the post check if there is any outstanding tax demand, if there is pay the same. If there is no mismatch you need not take any action.

Dear Amit
I received the Income tax Intimation U/S 143(1) with respect to the return of income filed by me for the Assessment Year 2016-17. Here it ask Net Amount Payable Rs. 60. Based on attached details it looks like mismatch occurred due to Unmatched Tax Deducted at Source.
Do I need to pay this mismatch amount/ Net Amount Payable soon , if need then how can I pay?
Your prompt response would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Rajendra Kumar
You can ignore payment up to Rs 100. It would be adjusted from future tax returns. However if you want to pay, go ahead and pay it online.
very good information for all new tax return filling people.
I filled first time return file for AY 2015-16 & 2016-17. Find that both year I am getting refund. My question is Tax department is able to see all other years tax (to be refund or to be paid by tax payer) than why they are not refunding for all other years if tax detucted is more than tax amount.
Tax department cannot initiate tax refund until you file ITR. This ITR is like a self declaration from your side about your income, TDS etc.
sir, i filed ITR-1 income tax for the assement year of 2015-16 on 11-08-2015 and again filled revised return on 20-08-2016 due to wrongly entered as 80C,80CCD,80D insted of 80C. I have received INTIMATION U/S 143(1) OF THE INCOME TAX ACT, 1961, Net Refundable & Payable amount is 0. May I know what need to be done next.
Sit back and relax :)
