Income Tax Scrutiny Handling Package Inclusions
- Scrutiny notice (143(2)) scope analysis
- Complete submission drafting with reconciliations
- Representation before the Assessing Officer
- Document management through e-proceedings
- Assessment order review and appeal advisory
Overview
What scrutiny assessment involves
A 143(2) notice selects your return for detailed examination by the Assessing Officer.
Cases are picked through computer-aided selection on risk parameters, or on specific information.
The officer issues questionnaires under Section 142(1); every query needs a documented, timely reply.
Most proceedings now run faceless — through the e-proceedings portal, without personal hearings.
The process ends in an assessment order, which can be appealed to the Commissioner (Appeals) within 30 days.
Benefits
Why taxpayers face scrutiny with us beside them
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
We understand the selection
CASS selection, risk-management flags, or specific information — we identify why your case was picked and what the officer is likely to probe.
Evidence organized properly
Books, bank statements, contracts, and computations are organized the way assessing officers expect to see them.
Queries answered completely
Every query gets a documented, legally grounded answer — filed through the faceless portal, on time.
Honest settlement advice
Where the facts support additions, we advise settling them early — interest stops compounding and the matter closes faster.
Appeal-ready from day one
If the assessment order goes against you, we draft the CIT(A) appeal — built on the record we created during scrutiny.
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.

Appeal-grade drafting
Every reply we file is written as if it will be read in appeal — because it might be. That discipline wins cases.
Commercial judgment
Where settling a point is cheaper than fighting it, we tell you. Scrutiny isn't the place for ego.
Assessment experience: Scrutiny representation is core tax practice for us — the portal, the questionnaires, and the officers' patterns are familiar.
For NRI founders & foreign investors

You don't need to fly down. Most of our foreign-founder incorporations are completed without the founder ever visiting India — 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors, and the entire process happens online.
Before you start
- 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors — no Indian partner needed
- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit

- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting (FC-GPR, FLA) and keep the bank evidence

A 143(2) notice means your return is selected for scrutiny assessment — the department will examine it in detail. It's not an accusation; it's the start of a process you need to handle carefully.
Computer-aided selection (CASS) on risk parameters, specific information with the department, or mismatches in your data. We usually identify the trigger from the questionnaire.
Mostly, yes — faceless assessment means proceedings run through the e-proceedings portal without personal hearings. We manage the portal work and draft every response.
It depends on the questionnaire — typically weeks to a few months across multiple query rounds. We calendar every deadline from day one.
Never ignore a query — non-compliance leads to best-judgment assessment, where the officer decides without your evidence. That's the worst possible outcome.
You can appeal to the Commissioner (Appeals) within 30 days of the order. We draft appeals built on the scrutiny record — which is why handling scrutiny well matters even if you lose.
Quote-based, depending on the case's complexity and expected query rounds. Share your notice and we'll assess and quote.
