Facing a tax demand, a penalty notice, or recovery action such as attachment of your bank account or property? We contest penalties under the correct provisions, get demands corrected or stayed, and represent you against coercive recovery - protecting your cash flow and your assets.
From verifying whether a demand is even correct, to staying it, to fighting the penalty and stopping attachment - we cover the full chain of demand and recovery.
Facing recovery or a penalty notice? talk to us urgently
The exact set depends on the matter - a typical list includes:
Attachment under Section 226(3) can often be lifted by approaching the department with a stay application, part-payment proposal or by pointing out errors in the demand. We act quickly to protect your account and, where possible, get the attachment released.
A stay can be sought from the Assessing Officer under Section 220(6) and, once an appeal is filed, before the CIT(A) or ITAT. We prepare a strong stay application citing prima facie merits, financial hardship and the relevant CBDT instructions.
Yes, in many cases. Depending on the provision, we seek immunity under Section 270AA, argue that the penalty is not attracted, or challenge it in appeal. Interest can also be reduced or waived under Section 220(2A) in appropriate cases.
Under-reporting attracts a penalty of 50% of tax; misreporting (such as suppression or false entries) attracts 200%. Getting the correct characterisation is crucial, and we argue against misreporting wherever the facts allow.
Often the department expects a part-payment (commonly 20%) as a condition of stay, but this can be reduced or waived where there is a strong prima facie case or genuine hardship. We negotiate the best terms possible.
We charge transparent, agreed professional fees based on the matter and the work involved, discussed upfront.
