Ex-parte orders and penalty notices can arise when a taxpayer fails to respond on time—or when compliance mistakes go unnoticed. But these outcomes are not always final. At CA Lekshmi & Associates, we help you restore your rights, reverse unjustified penalties, and reopen cases where needed.
Whether you missed an income tax notice, failed to file a return, or faced automatic demands under Sections 270A, 271(1)(c), or 274, our team steps in quickly. We draft replies, file rectifications, and take your case through the appeals process where justified.
Don’t let one delay cost you lakhs. We help you fix it—fast.

Penalty & Ex-Parte Support FAQs
Common questions about income tax, compliance, and litigation support in India.
What is an ex-parte assessment order?
It’s an order passed by the tax department when the taxpayer fails to respond or attend a hearing. We help file for rectification, review, or appeal based on your case history.
Can penalties be waived or reduced?
Yes, in many cases. We present facts, documents, and legal grounds to argue for relief under discretionary sections of the Act.
How soon should I act after receiving a penalty notice?
Immediately. Most penalty and rectification windows are time-bound. The earlier you respond, the stronger your defense can be.
Do NRIs get penalty relief too?
Yes. Especially in cases of communication lapses or genuine reasons for delay. We’ve helped many NRIs reverse such penalties with documentation.
