Income Tax Notice
Receiving an Income Tax Notice can be stressful and it is common to see people getting nervous when they receive an email, text message, or physical letter from the Income Tax Department. It may be about something small, but it scares people just to get it. The thing is, it is not always because of some violation or penalty. There are many notices sent because of discrepancies.
A failure to acknowledge an income tax notice or responding to it wrongly may result in penalties, interests, reassessment, and even criminal charges. Each income tax notice has a specific reason, time frame, and manner to respond.
At Patron Accounting, we assist individuals, professionals, and businesses in understanding income tax assessment notices and acting accordingly. Our Chartered Accountants analyze the tax notice, fill in the correct reply forms, and submit them to the authorities as per the stipulated time limits.
What Is an Income Tax Notice?
An Income Tax Notice is an official communication issued by the Income Tax Department to a taxpayer. It may be sent to seek clarification, request additional information, point out discrepancies, or initiate assessment or reassessment proceedings.
Notices are usually sent through email, SMS, or the Income Tax e-filing portal. Each notice mentions a specific section of the Income Tax Act under which it is issued, along with the reason and response deadline.
Receiving a notice does not always mean tax evasion or a penalty. In many cases, it is simply a request for confirmation or correction.
Common Reasons for Receiving an Income Tax Notice
- Discrepancy between ITR and Form 26AS or AIS
- Non-Filing or Late Filing of ITR
- Reporting of high-value transactions
- Inaccurate statements of income or deductions
- TDS claimed but not reflected
- Large Cash Deposits or Withdrawals
- Foreign income or assets that were not disclosed
- Capital gains not reported properly
- Inaccuracies in personal or banking information
Types of Income Tax Notices
The Income Tax Department issues different notices for different purposes. Each notice requires a specific response strategy. These issues include:
Intimation under Section 143(1)
Defective Return under Section 139(9)
Scrutiny Notice under Section 143(2)
Reassessment Notice under Section 148
Information Notice under Section 142(1)
Penalty Notice under Section 270A

Data Analysis
Income, tax filings, AIS, and Form 26AS are also reviewed to check for and identify mismatches or issues raised.

We need supporting documents to be collected and verified to back the response accurately.
Drafting the Reply
Then a legally correct reply is drafted addressing each point that is mentioned in the notice.
Online Submission
The response is submitted through the Income Tax Portal within the given time.
Follow-Up & Closure
