Got a Tax Notice? Don't Panic.
Every year, the Income Tax Department issues lakhs of notices — many are routine. Our CAs will review your notice, explain what it means in plain language, and draft a response that protects your interests.
Common Tax Notices We Handle
Section 143(1) — Intimation
LowAn auto-generated intimation showing the IT Department's computation versus yours. Mismatch may lead to a demand. We reconcile differences and file a rectification request under Section 154 if needed.
Section 148 — Reassessment
HighThe department believes income has escaped assessment. This reopens your old return — a serious matter. We prepare detailed objections citing landmark tribunal decisions and file a response within the deadline.
Section 271 — Penalty
MediumPenalty notices for concealment of income or inaccurate particulars. Penalties can range from 50% to 200% of tax evaded. We build a reasonable-cause defence with documentary evidence.
What happens if you ignore it?
Tax Demand Becomes Final
If you don't respond within 30 days, the demand in the notice is treated as accepted. The department can initiate recovery proceedings.
Bank Account Attachment
Under Section 226(3), the IT Department can attach your bank accounts and direct your bank to remit the outstanding demand.
Prosecution Proceedings
For serious cases like Section 276C, non-compliance can lead to prosecution with imprisonment of up to 7 years.
Higher Penalties
Delay attracts interest under Section 234A/B/C and penalties under Section 271. The longer you wait, the more you pay.

From Our Case Files
A salaried professional received a Section 148A notice for AY 2019-20 alleging undisclosed capital gains of Rs 12 lakh from mutual fund redemptions that were already reported in the original return.
We prepared a detailed reply under Section 148A(b) with cross-references to the original ITR, AIS data, and CAMS statement. We cited the Supreme Court decision in Ashish Agarwal to challenge procedural lapses.
The Assessing Officer dropped the proceedings and issued an order under Section 148A(d) confirming no escapement of income. Total tax saved: Rs 3.74 lakh including interest and penalty avoided.
