About Income Tax and GST Notice Reply

Share the notice with us. Our team, supported by a practising Chartered Accountant, explains what it is asking, checks your returns and records, prepares a clear reply with supporting documents and files it on the portal. Where a matter needs appeal or litigation, we tell you so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is every tax notice serious?
Not always. Many are routine intimations or requests for details. But every notice should be read and answered on time, because ignoring it can lead to penalties or an order.
How do I know a notice is genuine?
Genuine income tax and GST notices can be checked on the official portals. We can help you verify a notice before you act on it. Never share OTPs or passwords with anyone who calls about a notice.
Can you reply if I filed the return myself?
Yes. We review the return you filed and the notice and help you reply or file a revised or rectified return where allowed.
Do you handle appeals?
For appeals and litigation we tell you what is involved and connect you with an authorised professional where needed.
