Income Tax Notice & Assessment Support
An income-tax notice is usually a request to explain or correct something — but it comes with a deadline, and ignoring it can turn a routine query into a demand. Most notices today are issued and answered through the faceless e-proceedings portal.
Knowing which notice you've received, what it actually wants, and how to respond with the right evidence is what keeps a notice from escalating into an assessment and demand.
Key features and requirements
- Section 143(1): intimation adjusting/confirming your return — respond if you disagree
- Section 139(9): defective return — correct within the time allowed
- Section 143(2): scrutiny — detailed examination of your return
- Section 148: reassessment where income is believed to have escaped
- Section 245: adjustment of refund against past demand
- Handled through the faceless e-proceedings portal, with strict timelines
