Income Tax Notice Reply

An income tax notice is not a verdict β€” it's a question that deserves the right answer. Our CAs decode your notice, build the evidence, and file a precise, deadline-safe reply through e-proceedings.

Quick Overview

Understand It in 30 Seconds

Why did I get a notice?

Usually a mismatch: income in your AIS/26AS missing from the return, high-value transactions, unclaimed TDS credit, a defective form, or random scrutiny selection. The notice section number tells us exactly what the department wants.

Why respond fast?

Every notice carries a deadline β€” often 15 to 30 days. Silence converts questions into demands: best-judgment assessments, penalties, even prosecution in extreme cases. A timely, complete first reply usually ends the matter.

Why professional help?

The reply is a legal submission, not a form. Knowing what to concede, what to contest and which documents prove your case is exactly the judgment a seasoned CA brings.

Notice Triggers

Common Reasons for Income Tax Notices

AIS / 26AS Mismatch

Interest, dividends, share sales or salary in the department's data but missing from your ITR.

High-Value Transactions

Large deposits, property deals, credit card spends or investments flagged by data analytics.

Defective Return

Wrong ITR form, missing schedules or unpaid self-assessment tax β€” Section 139(9).

Under-Reported Income

Suspected income escaping assessment reopened under Section 148.

TDS Discrepancies

Credit claimed that deductors never reported, or vice versa.

Random Scrutiny

CASS selection under 143(2) β€” nothing "wrong" yet, but full documentation required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't panic and don't ignore it. Verify it's genuine (every notice carries a DIN verifiable on the e-filing portal), note the deadline, and share it with us β€” diagnosis is free.

The officer proceeds ex-parte: a best-judgment assessment under 144, tax demand with interest, penalties up to 200% for misreporting, and in serious cases prosecution. Even a wrong notice must be answered.

No β€” 143(1) is automated processing that may adjust arithmetic or obvious mismatches. If you disagree, a rectification (154) or updated response usually resolves it. Scrutiny under 143(2) is a deeper examination.

It reopens a past year where the department believes income escaped assessment β€” now preceded by a 148A show-cause. Strict timelines and higher stakes make professional drafting essential here.

Both. We first verify the demand's correctness β€” many arise from unprocessed TDS credit β€” then either get it rectified, file an appeal with a stay request, or arrange instalments with the assessing officer.

Rarely β€” assessments are faceless and document-based through the e-proceedings portal. Where a personal or video hearing is required, our CAs represent you under authorisation.

A 245 intimation allows you to object before adjustment. If the underlying demand is wrong, we contest it and pursue rectification so your refund is released.

It depends on the notice type β€” a defective-return fix is simple, a 148 reassessment is a full engagement. You get a fixed quote after the free diagnosis, before any commitment.
