Have a Question?

Notices on income taxes are official correspondence from the government regarding tax matters. The government uses these notices as a vital tool to notify taxpayers of inconsistencies, information requests, or modifications to their tax status.

Receiving a notice from the income tax department can be extremely upsetting. Meanwhile, receiving a notice from them does not always indicate difficulty or that an offense has been committed. It could just be a query about a refund, or they could be notifying you of a problem with one of your returns. Let's examine the specifics of each type of income tax notice and how to respond to one with Lawgical Adda.

 

The Notice: How Is It Sent?

The notice is sent by the IT department to the email address that was supplied when the returns were filed. A paper copy is also sent to the address listed in the PAN information. The following sections apply to the income tax notice that is sent:

Section 142

Under this provision, the taxpayer receives a notice asking them to carefully review the accounts and documents they filed with their IT returns.

Section 143 (1)

In accordance with this section, the taxpayer is notified in the event that there is a computation error, an adjustment, or an additional tax that must be paid.

Section 143(2)

After the assessing officer completes a thorough investigation, notice under this provision is given.

Section 148

Under this provision, a notice is provided if the officer in charge of assessment believes that any income has been overlooked and needs to be reassessed.

Section 156

This notice relates to some outstanding fees the taxpayer must pay the department. This could include a tax, penalty, fine, interest, etc.

 

Causes for Which You May Receive An Income Tax Notice?

You may continue to receive reminders from the Income Tax Department even after you have dutifully filed your income tax return and paid all your taxes. Don't worry; you may receive an Income Tax Notice for several other reasons. Let's examine them now. -

Erroneous Data on the Income Tax Return

Let's say there is a disparity in your salary or personal information. If so, you will receive a notification requesting that you provide information about your assets and income, both inside and outside of India.

A mismatch between reported and actual income

If the Income Tax Department believes you haven't recorded all of your income, you may also receive a notification. In such a situation, you will need to gather all of your bank statements, paychecks, invoices, and proof of income.

Unexpected Shifts in Investments and Incomes

The Income Tax Department may become involved in any significant rise or fall in income levels. If your bank account contains several high-value transactions, the Income Tax Department may notify you.

Unexpected Variations in TDS

The TDS on Form 26AS and Form 16A must match the amount stated when the ITR is filed. You may obtain an Income Tax notice in accordance with section 143 (1) if there is a discrepancy between the two amounts.

For Assessment and Appraisal

If your ITR is examined, you may receive a notice under section 143(2). It can be the result of inaccuracies in the reporting. Make sure you respond as quickly as possible, or the department may act against you.

Postponed ITR Submission

If you fail to file the ITR by the deadline, the Income Tax Department may notify you of a delayed filing.

Refund payments made concerning outstanding debts

You may occasionally overlook to include some interest income. But the Income Tax Department immediately detects it and notifies you that any taxes owed will be subtracted from the claimed Income Tax Refund.

Tax Avoidance in Earlier Times

Under section 147 of the Income Tax Act, you may still receive a notice from the Income Tax Department even if you haven't dodged taxes in the past year.

  • Professional Language: Formulating an appropriate and succinct answer to these problems.

  • Tip for Document Organization: Sort and classify documents to ensure a well-organized submission.

Pro tip: If there is a delay in receiving the documentation, you should contact the IT department.

The department may not always specify the document list for ad hoc review. In that scenario, you must gather and submit all supporting documentation for your response.
