@anil_am22 I am from India. I received S56 at Further Assessment to submit Taxation documents and Superannuation Statement/ Provident Funds statements for SC491 - Australia. For taxation, I have never done ITR filling. could I submit my Form 16 TRACE certificates?
For Superannuation Statement/ Provident Funds statements: I have never opted for PF from my two employers. For one of the employers, my EPFO account is closed and I am not able to download PF certificate, but I was managed to download PF UAN Card. Please suggest.
2007 To 2011 - Worked for a small firm where PF was not entitled.
2012 To 2016 - Worked for a big firm. Had PF account but I am unable to download PF certificate nor have any option to get the PF statement. I managed to download UAN ID somehow.
2016 To 2020 - Worked for medium size company where PF was optional so I had opted out from PF.
Please suggest what do I do in this case?
Case 2:
For Taxation documents: I have never filed ITR. I am not able to fill ITR for these years from 2007 to 2020 for which CO has raised the request. But I do have Form 16 TRACE certificates for all these years and I can produce bank statements as well.
Kindly help me Sir as I am at the last stage of the visa process for SC491. Please suggest what do I do in the above two cases?
Alright, mate, for the taxation docs, while Form 16 and TRACE certificates might help a bit, they might not cut it if you haven’t done ITR filings. You’ll want to explain your situation well in a cover letter and maybe chat with a tax expert to see if you need to sort out any past returns. As for the Superannuation Statement/Provident Funds, if you haven’t opted for PF, provide what you can and explain the deal with your EPFO account in the cover letter.
@lisakent86 Appreciate your help Lisa. I have submitted my docs for further assessment. I have one more question please. In S56, It was written to submit tax docs from 2012 to 2020. I am unable to find or download the document for 2012 and 2013. I have submitted Form 16 TRACE from 2014 to 2021. Would there be any issue if I am not able to submit 2012 and 2013?
Hey there! For your SC491 visa application, using Form 16 and TRACE certificates instead of ITR filing should be fine for showing your income and taxes. As for your PF situation, since you couldn’t download the PF certificate but got the PF UAN Card, that should work to demonstrate your Provident Fund details. Just make sure to include all the info they’ve asked for in the S56 request.
Appreciate all your help and information that you have provided @lisakent86 . I’ve submitted all the docs, did Police verification Medical again. Waiting for the visa grant.
