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
