Income-tax notices and assessments, handled from the first reply.
Most income-tax proceedings now run on the e-filing portal, through faceless assessment units, with deadlines that count from the day the notice is uploaded. We work these matters online for individuals, NRIs and businesses across India, and appear at hearings where one is fixed.
- Intimations under section 143(1) and adjustments made while processing a return
- Defective return notices under section 139(9)
- Inquiry notices under section 142(1) and scrutiny notices under section 143(2)
- Faceless assessment: show-cause notices, draft orders and video hearings
- Reassessment: section 148A show-cause, section 148 notices and the time limits that apply
- Outstanding demands, rectification under section 154 and refund follow-up
- Penalty proceedings, including section 270A and immunity under section 270AA
- Appeals before the CIT(A) and the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal
- Stay of demand and recovery proceedings
- TDS defaults, short deduction and TDS return notices
Four steps, in this order.
Read the notice and the record behind it.
We download the notice, the reasons recorded and the information the department relies on, and check them against the return, the AIS and the books.
Fix the deadline first.
Each notice carries its own response date. We confirm it on the portal and, where more time is genuinely needed, ask for it in writing before it lapses.
Settle the position, then write it once.
The first reply sets the record the assessing officer and any appellate forum will read. We decide the position, assemble the evidence to support it, and file a reply that can stand on its own.
Tell you where you stand.
Including when the position is weak, so you can weigh settlement, rectification or appeal on the realistic range of outcomes.
