A reader asks,
I have lost my acknowledged (i.e. stamped) income tax returns (form ITR-V) for last year. What is the procedure for obtaining a duplicate?
My opinion: Visit the income tax office in your geography and meet your assessing officer. A requisition letter along with an unacknowledged copy of your income tax returns (Form 16, or ITR-V, or whatever you have) should be handy. You might want to carry your PAN Card along too.
Have you ever been in a similar situation or know someone who was? What do you think this reader should do?
