   HI Vishwanath,
   I would love to get an update from you after your correspondence with our extremely efficient and customer service oriented Tax Department.

   Not sure if you have been inside a Tax department where the returns are stored. I would not even be surprised if they can not trace your copy of ITR.

   If you don’t hear from them after repetitive chase ups, your next best friend is RTI against IT Department.

   Regards

   Dear Vishwanath, from which years you started online filing or should I say your CA filed online for you?

   If all the 3 ITRs were filed online, my dear friend, you may get the copy of your ITR_V from the e-filing website itself.

   In case you have filed only last ITR online & remaining ITR were physical ones, please write an application to the Income Tax office, where your ITRs were filed & asked there to provide the copy of your lost ITRs.

   Thanks

   Ashal

      If I’ve filed online, I can get ITR-V online, yes.
      But what the return itself? (ITR 1,2, Saral… whatever was applicable for those years.)

         Dear Ankur, in case of online filing for past 4-5 years, you already have the excel utility with you from which you had generated your XML files to upload your ITR. So that excel utility print out + ITR-V ‘ll be your physical proof of ITR along with the receipt that your ITR-V has been accepted at CPC, Banglore.

         Thanks

   Hi Vishwanath,
   I wish I am wrong here – but probably there may not be a replacement for lost IT Return copies.

   However, there are always way arounds, specially for home loans. Ask the home loan company about their income criteria and if you could prove that you have been earning the same via proofs other than ITRs. Examples of such proofs can be Form 16 issued by the employer, Bank statements, Confirmation from banker to prove your interest income, etc. End of the day, ITR just summarises the Income details. It does not create an Income.

   It would be interesting to hear from other knowledgeable people out here for way arounds.

   Regards
   BFA
