Don't ignore a notice.
Most notices are answerable, and many are routine. What they are not is patient — several carry a reply window measured in days from the date printed on them, and that date is the first thing to check.
Notice aaya hai? Photo bhejo, aaj hi.
The windows that are short
- A defective return — section 139(9)
- 15 days to put it right. Leave it and the return can be treated as never filed.
- A proposed adjustment — section 143(1)(a)
- 30 days to respond. No response is taken as agreement with the adjustment.
What we do
We read the notice and tell you in plain words what it says, what it is asking for and by when. The reply itself is prepared by a qualified professional, and you see it before it goes anywhere.
What we will not do is tell you how it will turn out. That is the assessing officer’s decision, and anybody who promises you an outcome on a notice they have not read is guessing at your expense.

You can also check anything we tell you against the department directly — the e-filing helpdesk is 1800 103 0025 or 1800 419 0025, 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday. We would rather you did.
What we will never do
- Invent a deduction, a donation or a rent receipt
- File anything before you have seen it and said yes
- Take government tax or fees into our own account
- Promise you a refund, or how long the department will take
- Handle a tax audit without a Chartered Accountant — by law, only they can
If anyone offers you these things for a fee, that is worth walking away from — whoever they are. Any tax, interest or government fee on your case is paid by you to the government, never to us.
We publish what these pages say and link to them so you can read them yourself. Tax rules and portal pages change; if a link has moved or a figure has changed, tell us and we will check it.
