Yes, you can respond to the Form 10AB hearing notice online through the Income Tax Department’s e-Proceedings portal. Physical appearance (e.g., going to Hyderabad) is generally not required unless specifically instructed in the notice.
Online Response (Preferred Mode) - Platform: Income Tax e-Filing Portal - Service: e-Proceedings module - Steps: - Log in to the portal with your trust’s credentials. - Navigate to Pending Actions > e-Proceedings. - Select the relevant notice under Form 10AB. - Upload your response and supporting documents (e.g., trust deed, activity reports, audit reports, etc.). - Submit the response within the deadline mentioned in the notice. - Advantages: - No need to travel. - Timestamped submission. - Acknowledgment receipt is generated instantly.
Offline (Physical Hearing) - Only applicable if: - The notice explicitly mentions a requirement to appear in person. - The Assessing Officer (AO) has scheduled a personal hearing at a specific location (e.g., Hyderabad). - If not mentioned, you are not required to appear physically. The department prefers digital communication under the faceless assessment and registration regime.
