FAQ :
An income tax notice is an alert from the tax department to salaried employees about issues found in their filed tax returns, such as discrepancies in reported income, errors in deductions, or unreported earnings.
An Intimation notice (Section 143(1)) is a routine notification confirming the processing of your Income Tax Return (ITR), indicating if a refund is due or if tax is payable, and may highlight any data mismatches.
Ignoring an Inquiry notice (Section 142(1)), which requests more documents or clarification on why an ITR was not filed, can result in penalties of up to ₹10,000 and potential legal action.
A Defective Return notice (Section 139(9)) informs the taxpayer of errors in their filed return and requires them to make corrections within 15 days to prevent the return from being declared invalid.
If you receive an income tax notice, you should stay calm, carefully analyse the notice to understand the issue and required response, compile all relevant documents, and reply within the specified deadline, seeking expert advice if needed.
