Assessment & Appeals FAQs
Common questions about income tax, compliance, and litigation support in India.
What is a scrutiny notice and how should I respond?
It’s a formal notice under Section 143(2) asking you to justify income or deductions. We prepare a legally sound, document-backed response on your behalf.
Can you represent me at tax hearings?
Yes. We attend hearings before Assessing Officers, file replies, and handle both online and in-person representation.
What if I missed replying to a notice on time?
We can review the case and file an appeal or rectification based on the situation. Time is critical—reach out as soon as possible.
Do NRIs receive scrutiny notices too?
Yes, especially for high-value transactions or rental income from Indian properties. We manage assessments, FEMA concerns, and DTAA filings for NRIs.
