"It's a request for e-verification of their accounts and an explanation” Chandra told ET.
The I-T department is also looking forward to hear from most of the people who have been sent the requests by March 31, failing which formal notices under the income tax law will be sent to them.
"The department will have to issue notices and make assessments,” Chandra told ET.
More requests for information are likely to go out soon as deeper data mining starts, he said.
