Income Tax Demand Notice S.156 for Delhi Taxpayers
📌 TL;DR - IT Demand Notice S.156 in Delhi Services at a Glance
A demand notice under Section 156 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 is issued by the Assessing Officer or CPC Bengaluru when any tax, interest, penalty, fine or other sum is payable following an order under the Income Tax Act. Delhi taxpayers have 30 days to pay or respond. Non-payment attracts 1% monthly interest under Section 220(2) and penalty up to the demand amount under Section 221.
