Income Tax Notices
Most income tax notices are routine — a query, a mismatch, a scrutiny pick. What turns them into demands is a missing or careless reply. We decode the notice, build the response on evidence, and meet every deadline.

Overview
What income tax notices usually mean
143(1) intimations flag computation adjustments — many are routine and some are simply wrong.
142(1) notices call for information or documents during inquiry proceedings.
143(2) notices commence scrutiny assessment — the department will examine your return in detail.
148 notices reopen past assessments, typically where income is alleged to have escaped assessment.
156 is a demand notice — tax the department says you owe, with a payment deadline.
Benefits
Why taxpayers respond to notices through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
We decode the notice first
143(1), 142(1), 143(2), 148, 156 — each notice means something different and needs a different response. We identify exactly what you're facing.
Deadlines protected
Tax notices carry strict reply deadlines. We calendar them immediately and work backwards — nothing slips.
Point-by-point replies
Your response is built on documents and legal grounds, addressing each point the officer raised — point by point.
Honest pay-vs-fight advice
If the notice reveals genuine tax payable, we tell you plainly — paying now with interest is usually cheaper than a fought-and-lost assessment.
Continuity through appeals
Scrutiny assessments can be appealed to the CIT(A) and beyond. We stay with the matter through the full chain.
Documents
Documents you will usually need
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
How we handle your notice
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 5
Notice analysis
We read the notice — section, assessment year, DIN, and what the officer is actually questioning.
Evidence gathering
Returns, computations, books, and bank data for the year are compiled and checked against the notice.
Strategy decision
Pay, contest, or rectify — we recommend the strategy that costs you least in the long run.
Reply drafting and filing
A point-by-point reply with legal grounds and organized supporting documents, filed before the deadline.
Appeal support, if needed
If the assessment goes against you, we draft the appeal — the reply becomes its foundation.

Sometimes. Faceless assessment means most proceedings happen online without personal hearings. We handle the e-proceedings portal work for you.
Often yes — defective returns, mismatches with AIS/TIS or 26AS, high-value transactions, or random scrutiny selection. We identify the trigger from your notice.
You can file a rectification under Section 154 for mistakes apparent from the record, or appeal. We assess which remedy fits.
Quote-based, depending on notice type and complexity. Share the notice and we'll assess and quote before drafting.
