Good.Filing of returns to Bangalore for south reason making common man is troubling.Better to restore old system to file return at the place of residence.The department in return may send to Bangalore.
I am getting messages regarding some person where the Pan Card number is of some other person.If it is local office it may be informed to them to rectify or Identify the person.

it is useless to publish the names of defaulters in public domain. if income tax department collects tax from the erring persons and then publish in the public domain, then all will appreciate it department.
