Get Reply DraftedWhat is Notice Reply & Assessment Support?
When the Income Tax Department issues a notice — whether an inquiry under Section 142(1), a scrutiny notice under Section 143(2), or a reassessment notice under Section 148 — the quality of your reply decides how the case proceeds. A precise, well-documented response can close the matter; a careless one can trigger additions, penalties, and litigation.
Our Chartered Accountants study the income tax notice, reconcile your records with Form 26AS and AIS, draft a legally sound reply, and represent you through every stage of the faceless assessment until the order is passed.

- Taxpayers who have received notices under Sections 139(9), 142(1), 143(1), 143(2), 148, or 245.
- Individuals and businesses whose returns are selected for scrutiny or reassessment.
- Taxpayers facing mismatch queries from AIS, TIS, or high-value transaction reporting.
- Anyone who missed a notice deadline and needs urgent damage control.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reply to an income tax notice online?
Replies are submitted on the income tax e-filing portal under "e-Proceedings". The reply must address each query with supporting documents. We draft and upload the complete response on your behalf.
What is faceless assessment?
Faceless assessment is an electronic assessment scheme where the taxpayer never meets the officer. All notices, replies, and hearings happen online through the e-filing portal and the National Faceless Assessment Centre.
What documents are needed for an assessment reply?
Typically Form 16/16A, bank statements, books of account, investment and loan documents, capital gains statements, and reconciliations with Form 26AS and AIS — depending on the queries raised.
What if I missed the deadline to reply?
You should respond immediately with a condonation request explaining the delay. If an ex-parte order has already been passed, remedies such as rectification or appeal before CIT (Appeals) are available.
Can the assessment result in extra tax demand?
Yes, if the officer makes additions to your income. A strong, well-documented reply minimises this risk, and any adverse order can be challenged in appeal before CIT (Appeals) and then the ITAT.
