Receiving a notice under Section 144 of the Income Tax Act means the department has initiated proceedings due to non-compliance, potentially leading to a demand of ₹3 crore. If no reply is filed, recovery proceedings, including bank account attachment, will commence. The available remedies include filing an appeal with the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) within a specific timeframe, accompanied by a partial payment of the demand (typically 25%) and an application for a stay on the demand.
