FAQ

What is a Tax Notice?

A tax notice is a communication from the tax department informing you of an error in your tax return, a mistake in accounts, a balance owed by you or an overpaid amount as tax.

How can I respond to an Income Tax Notice?

Responses need to be carefully drafted when incomes or investments are numerous. Call in a professional tax expert if you feel uncomfortable with accounting jargon and mathematical projections are called for. This can happen when you have investments or capital assets subject to depreciation or when your tax assessment calls for estimating your income for the purposes of Advance tax payment or Self-Assessment tax payment.

What is an intimation under 143(1)?

This communication is sent to the tax payer when a tax remains to be paid or refunded or there arises an increase/ decrease in reported profit or loss after comparing documents such as form 16/ form 16A, form 26AS, audit statements and so on.

Every tax notice need not be a cause for worry! You should relax and read the letter before trying to think up a response.

Why Should I seek help for an Income Tax Notice?

The income tax return filing process is cumbersome if you haven’t organized your daily expenses and savings beforehand. You may end up making mistakes in field entries, miscalculate or worse, appear to withhold income from your tax assessing officer.

My Tax Expert has advised a rectified/ revised return. Does that get covered in this plan?

If your Expert advises you to e-file a rectified/ revised return then you may choose one of our ITR e-filing plans that best suit your tax profile.
