Income Tax Notice

Overview

The Income Tax Department issues various notices ranging from automated intimations to formal scrutiny assessments and reassessment proceedings. Each notice has a specific legal basis, a response deadline, and consequences for non-response. Ignoring an income tax notice is never safe — non-response to scrutiny or demand notices leads to ex-parte assessment with large additions to income, substantial penalties, and ultimately tax recovery proceedings including attachment of bank accounts and assets.

MFiling assigns qualified Chartered Accountants and tax advocates to every Income Tax notice — analysing the grounds, identifying the department's concern, gathering documentary evidence, and preparing a comprehensive written response. Where necessary, MFiling appears before the Assessing Officer for personal hearings and files appeals to CIT(A) or ITAT if the assessment order is legally unsound.

Common notices handled: Section 143(1) automated intimation, Section 143(2) scrutiny selection, Section 133(6) high-value transaction explanation, Section 156 demand notice, Section 148 reassessment notice. MFiling professional charges: from Rs.2,999 per notice response | Rs.4,999 for 143(2) scrutiny | Rs.7,999 for 148 reassessment.
