Query regarding submitting response by attaching documents under e-proceedings

A notice has been received U/s 143(1)(a) and has to be replied through the e-proceedings tab on the IT Portal. The notice is disagreed. There is a box provided to submit the response in text form.  The response is entered in the said box. I wish to attach a document(s) in support of my contention. But there seems to be no provision to attach a document. The document alone will substantiate our contention to disagree with the proposed adjustment intimated by the CPC. How to attach a document while submitting the reply? If a document cannot be attached here, what is the other option to share the document with the tax authorities?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the difficulty of attaching supporting documents when responding to a notice via the e-proceedings tab on the IT Portal. While there's a text box for your response, a direct document upload option appears to be missing. The advice given is to clearly state in your text response that supporting documents are available and to mention their names. If the system truly lacks an upload feature, the suggested alternative is to email the documents directly to the CPC, ensuring your PAN and the notice reference number are included in the subject line and body.

  1. Respond in Detail and Reference Documents:

    • Enter your point-wise justification in the text field.

    • Clearly mention in your reply that you have documents (name them) to substantiate your claims, but the system does not permit uploading at this juncture. 

    • If no "Attach/Upload document" button or link is visible in the reply section, this limitation is system-driven and not an error.

    • After submitting your text response, you can also email the supporting documents to the CPC (Centralized Processing Centre) using the official CPC email ID referenced in the adjustment notice. Make sure to mention your PAN and the unique communication/reference number of the notice in the subject line and content.

Many thanks for your quick response. Attachment option is not seen. I raised a grievance and am waiting for response. If response is not received, I will go by your suggestion.

Good luck.                            

When responding to a 143(1)(a) notice on the income tax portal where the file attachment option is missing, enter a detailed explanation in the text box noting the limitation, and email your supporting documents directly to the CPC quoting your PAN and notice reference number.
