Quick Summary
If you've received a notice under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act alleging escaped income, it's crucial to act promptly. First, verify the time limits specified under Section 149(1). If within the limit, you may need to file a Return of Income via the compliance tab on the income tax website. It's advisable to request the 'Reason to Believe' from the Assessing Officer (AO), who is obligated to provide it. If you disagree with the reasons, you have the option to challenge the notice via a Writ Petition in the High Court. Alternatively, if you accept the reasons, file the Return of Income and await a subsequent notice under Section 143(2).

Check the time limit under both sections.

If it is within the limit ,go and meet the officer.

Submit the documents if any quoted in the notice..
If you did not file your income tax return for such period, you can file your ITR through compliance tab on income tax website.
1st check the time limit as specified u/s 149(1)

If it is within time File Return of income

Then ask for the "Reason to belive" AO is bound to issue reason to belive .If not given or Reason given but if u dont satisfued with the reason provided to you then u can challenge the Notice in the high court through WRIT PETITION
