One of my client has received Email from Income Tax Department. Follwoing is the text of email received:
Reference: E-filing Acknowledgement Number: 739970XXXXXXXXX for the Assessment Year 2009-10
Dear Taxpayer,
Subject: Report on the Quality of Data and Matching of TDS / TCS Claims in your E-Return – Reg
1. Income Tax Department congratulates you for filing your Income Tax return electronically. As a pro-active measure, a Data Quality and Matching Report for TDS and TCS claims in I-T Return is being sent as an attachment to this email.
2. The objective of issuing the Data Quality and Matching Report for TDS and TCS claims in I-T Return is:
-
- To enable you to ascertain the extent of matching of your TDS / TCS claims in the Income Tax Return filed by you with the TDS / TCS reported by the tax Deductors /Collectors. In case the matching is 100%, you may be assured of accurate credit and quicker processing of the I-T Return.
- To enable you to take up the matter pertaining to any deficiencies or mismatches in the TDS / TCS reported with your Deductor / Collector so that the corrective action can be taken by them by filing an updated E-TDS return with NSDL with your correct PAN or TDS amount.
- To enable you to identify claims made by you using invalid TAN. In all cases where TAN is invalid the “Name of the Deductor” is mentioned as “INVALID TAN” and in all such cases no match is possible. The TAN in these cases would have to rectified by you by filing a revised Return of Income with correct TAN.
3. The TDS / TCS credit information available are based on the valid PAN details submitted by the Deductors up to the date mentioned in the Data Quality and Matching Report for TDS and TCS claims in I-T Return. Please note that all TDS /TCS from the same Deductor / Collector is added and consolidated as a single entry, both on the claims side as well as on the data reported to Department side.

The date of birth / incorporation should be same as furnished to the Department and available in the Income Tax Department PAN master (as printed on the PAN card).
For example, if your PAN is AZZPZ2398K and date of birth / incorporation is January 21, 1985 then the password will be azzpz2398k21011985
5. The Data Quality and Matching Report is in the attached ZIP file with your PAN as the file name. To open the file all you need is any Unzip software and MS Excel or Open Office Excel compatible software.

I received this e-mail from the IT Department 2 days ago. All efforts to open the attached xls file has failed as the file CRC is corrupt – it is 00000000. Obviously, the xls file is corrupt (mind you, not the zip file in which the xls file is enclosed).
Since it is from donotreply e-mail address, where do I appeal to send me the uncorrupted file.

Would the Income Tax Department take a look at this page and do something. I suspect tens of thousands may be having the same problem and we all would be penalized for no fault of hours
November 21st, 2009 at 7:57 pm
In absence of any other communication address, I sent the following email to
tininfo@nsdl.co.in
*******************************
I received this mail along with the zip file. All efforts to extract the xls file has failed – the WnRAR, Winzip all report no files can be found to extract.
I had posted my problem on taxguru site hoping to get some clue as to whom to approach to get the file that is not corrupt. After my posting, number of other citizens have highlighted that they are having the same problem.
Request your help in resolving this problem. The email below has come from donotreply and it is not possible to communicate with them.
*********************************
In case I get any response, I shall be posting the same here for assistance of all.

November 23rd, 2009 at 6:56 am
Hey…Thanks…It is working now…What we have to do now…I have mismatch of Rs 1/- in the sheet ?
November 24th, 2009 at 9:47 am
Hi,
I also got same type of mail.Using WIn rar I am able to open the zip file.
November 24th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Many thanks to the “Guest”
Guest’s advice worked with the latest version of 7-Zip. Earlier versions [which were already present on my PC] did not work.
The latest 7-Zip version is 4.65 of Feb 2009 and the installer file to be downloaded is called 7z465.exe. To locate the download site, just google it.
December 5th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Yes, it works with 7-zip…. Thanks a ton..!!
But now I have an issue with Rs 31062 that my employer has deducted but not reported
December 5th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Thanks to all of you and “Guest”. 7-Zip indeed works.
Stupid of the IT dept to create something that can only be accessed by a particular program.

Folks
It is very clearly mentioned in the same email that you need WinZip version 11.0 or above, or WinRAR version 3.90 or above to extract the ZIP file correctly, because the XLS sheet inside is password-protected.
Please download the latest versions of WinZip (11.0 or above) or WinRAR (3.90 or above) and the file will open nicely.
I too had the same problem, and then read the IT Dept.’s email properly and found this.
