Amit,
Thanks for the above info. I have recieved Form -16 From my company and no UTN is mentioned on it. I have asked my finance team and they told that they have not recieved any info regarding UTN.
What to do now? as last day for IT return is 31 July'09.

Confused,

I advise you to wait because UTN is mandatory if you want IT refund.
