Frequently Asked Questions

Do not ignore it and do not panic. Note the section, the assessment year and the response deadline. Share the notice with us - we will tell you exactly what it means, what is being asked and how to respond correctly and in time.

A 143(1) is an intimation generated when your return is processed - it may show a refund, a demand or adjustments. A 143(2) means your case has been selected for detailed scrutiny and requires a full, evidence-backed response. The two are handled very differently.

Ignoring a notice can lead to best-judgment assessment under Section 144, additions to your income, demand, penalty and even prosecution in serious cases. Responding properly and on time is always the better course.

The Annual Information Statement (AIS) and Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS) show the department's record of your financial transactions. Many notices arise from mismatches between these and your return, so we reconcile them carefully as part of every reply.

Yes. Income tax proceedings are now largely faceless and online. We prepare and file the entire response through the e-filing / e-Proceedings portal, so it can be handled from anywhere.

We charge transparent, agreed professional fees based on the notice and the work involved, discussed upfront before we start.
