If you receive a notice under Section 142(1) regarding unexplained cash deposits, you must gather all documentation proving the source of the funds (e.g., past returns, asset sales, or documented income) and consult with a Chartered Accountant to draft a formal reply. Promptly uploading your response via the Income Tax e-filing portal is essential to avoid adverse assessments or penalties.
