Income Tax Notice Reply
Scrutiny, mismatch, demand or reassessment — we decode the notice, draft the response and represent you through e-proceedings.
Overview
Income tax notices range from the routine to the serious: an intimation under section 143(1) adjusting your refund, a defective-return notice under 139(9), a scrutiny selection under 143(2), a reassessment notice under 148, or a demand asking for payment. Each carries its own deadline and its own correct response — and the e-proceedings system means everything is on record, so a careless reply can hurt as much as no reply.
We start by telling you plainly what the notice means and how serious it is. Then we build the response: reconciling your return against AIS/26AS, assembling the evidence that answers the specific point raised, drafting a submission that addresses each query, and filing it through the e-proceedings portal within time — following the matter until it is actually closed.
Who needs this
- Taxpayers with a 143(1) intimation showing a mismatch or reduced refund
- Anyone served a defective-return notice under 139(9)
- Cases selected for scrutiny (143(2)) or reassessment (148)
- Taxpayers with outstanding demand notices or refund adjustments
- Non-filers who received a notice for a year they didn't file
Documents required
- Copy of the notice (PDF or photo)
- Income tax portal login credentials
- The filed return and computation for the year in question
- Documents relevant to the query — bank statements, investment proofs, sale deeds, Form 16/16A
Your case may need one or two documents more or fewer — we confirm the exact checklist before starting.
How it works
-
Notice assessment
We identify the section, the exact issue and the deadline, and give you a written plain-language assessment of what the department is asking and your realistic exposure.
-
Reconciliation & evidence
Your return is reconciled against AIS, 26AS and your documents. The gap the notice is pointing at either has an explanation or a correction — we establish which, honestly.
-
Response filed
A point-by-point submission is drafted, reviewed with you, and filed through e-proceedings within the deadline — with a revised/updated return where that is the correct remedy.
-
Followed to closure
We monitor the proceeding, respond to further queries, and pursue the matter until an order, refund release or closure is on record. Where an adverse order deserves appeal, we advise on next steps.
What you receive
- Written assessment of the notice and your exposure
- Reconciliation workings (return vs AIS/26AS vs books)
- Drafted and filed response with acknowledgement
- Follow-up through e-proceedings until closure

Fixed fee, quoted in writing before work begins. The fee depends on your business constitution and the complexity of the case, so we quote after a short (free) conversation — never after the work is done.
