No spam. Your information is 100% secure.
Know in hours if it’s serious
Most notices are routine — a mismatch, a missing schedule, a refund adjustment. We triage yours the same day and tell you plainly whether it is a five-minute fix or needs a full response.
Replies drafted by professionals
Your response is prepared by a CA who handles these sections every week, with the legal references, computations and annexures the assessing officer expects. You approve it before anything is submitted.
Deadlines tracked so you never default
Every notice has a clock. We log your due date, file on the e-proceedings portal on time, and keep the acknowledgement trail — because a missed deadline is what turns small issues into penalties.

Income tax notices for AY 2026-27, explained
What income tax notice assistance means
Income tax notice assistance means a qualified professional reads the communication the Income Tax Department sent you, tells you exactly what it is asking, and files a correct, on-time response on your behalf. Most notices are not accusations — a large share are automated intimations under Section 143(1) comparing your return with the department’s records, or requests to clarify a mismatch. The danger is rarely the notice itself; it is responding late, or replying in panic and conceding something you did not owe. A calm, section-correct response filed within the deadline resolves the overwhelming majority of cases quietly.
Who needs this service
Anyone who has received an email or SMS from the Income Tax Department for AY 2026-27 or an earlier year: salaried taxpayers with a TDS or AIS mismatch, investors whose capital gains did not match broker data, people who received a high-value transaction (e-campaign) message, those served a defective-return notice under Section 139(9), or a scrutiny notice under 143(2). If you are unsure whether a message is genuine or serious, that uncertainty is exactly what the triage resolves.
What our experts do for you
Your assigned CA first triages the notice — identifying the section, the assessment year, the exact query and the response deadline — and tells you plainly whether it is routine or serious. They then reconcile your return against Form 26AS and the AIS to find the real cause, prepare a reply with the correct legal references, computations and supporting annexures, and file it on the e-proceedings portal only after you have approved it. Where the department has raised an incorrect demand, they challenge it with the right computation rather than paying it by default. Every step is documented so you have a clean acknowledgement trail.
Common notice types and what they mean
A 143(1) intimation is an automated adjustment — often just a mismatch to reconcile or a refund confirmation. A 139(9) defective-return notice means something in your return needs curing before it is treated as valid. A 143(2) scrutiny notice opens a detailed examination and needs full documentation. A 148 notice reopens an assessment for income believed to have escaped tax. A 245 intimation proposes adjusting your refund against an old demand. Each has its own deadline and correct response — which is why decoding it accurately, before replying, matters so much.
Documents you will need
- The notice itself (PDF or clear photo, all pages)
- PAN and the ITR acknowledgement for the year in question
- Form 26AS and AIS for that assessment year
- Bank statements for the period, if income is questioned
- Proofs for the transaction or deduction under query
- Any earlier replies you have already submitted

Deadlines, risks & why to act today
Why the documents matter
An accurate response depends on the right paperwork. The notice itself tells us the section and deadline; the ITR acknowledgement and Form 26AS/AIS for that year let us reconcile exactly what the department sees against what you filed. Where income is questioned, bank statements and transaction proofs — a sale deed, a broker statement, a receipt — establish the true position. If you have already replied, we need that too, so the new submission is consistent. Sharing everything upfront is what lets us resolve the case in one clean response rather than a back-and-forth.
Deadlines and consequences
Response windows are usually 15 to 30 days from the date of issue, though scrutiny and reassessment timelines differ. Ignoring a notice is the one option we never recommend: the department can complete a best-judgment assessment, raise demands, levy penalties under the 270A/271 series, charge interest, and adjust future refunds under Section 245. A short, correct, on-time reply almost always costs far less than the consequences of silence — which is why uploading the notice the day it arrives matters.
Why respond with EasyTax
Every response is drafted by a CA who works these sections regularly, reconciled against the department’s own AIS/26AS data, filed on time with a documented acknowledgement, and priced at a fixed fee quoted after triage. We contest incorrect demands rather than paying them by default, and your documents are handled confidentially under India’s DPDP Act. Calm, correct and on time beats panic every time.
Frequently asked questions
Everything taxpayers ask after an income tax notice arrives.
Usually not. Most are routine intimations under Section 143(1) or requests for clarification, not accusations of wrongdoing. What matters is understanding exactly what is being asked and responding correctly within the deadline. Upload it and our triage tells you in hours whether it is a simple fix or needs a full response.
It varies by notice — commonly 15 to 30 days from the date of issue, though scrutiny and reassessment timelines differ. Missing the window can lead to penalties and best-judgment assessment. Share the notice today and we confirm your exact deadline in the triage so nothing is left to chance.
The department can complete your assessment on a best-judgment basis, raise a demand, levy penalties and interest, and adjust future refunds against it under Section 245. Small, easily-fixed issues can snowball into large liabilities. Responding correctly and on time is almost always far cheaper than staying silent.
If a demand results from a mismatch or a processing error, yes — we file rectifications or responses with the correct computation and supporting proof. Many demands reduce to zero once the figures are reconciled against 26AS and AIS. Where a genuine liability exists, we tell you honestly and help you resolve it.
Yes. Depending on the notice and the year, we combine the response with a return or an updated return (ITR-U) so your record is set right. Non-filing is a common trigger for notices, and regularising it properly is often the cleanest way to close the case.
It is an automated communication comparing your filed return with the department’s computation. It may confirm your refund, or flag an adjustment where the two differ. Most are harmless once understood, but some require you to agree or contest the adjustment within the given window — which is exactly what we handle.
It means your return has an error or omission that must be corrected before it is treated as valid — a missing schedule, an inconsistency, or an unfilled mandatory field. There is a deadline to respond; if you miss it, the return can be treated as not filed. We identify the defect, cure it and re-submit in time.
A correct, well-documented, on-time response is the lowest-risk path available. It closes the query the department raised rather than leaving it open. Ignoring or under-responding is what invites escalation. Our replies are prepared to answer the exact question asked, with the supporting evidence, so the matter can be closed cleanly.
Yes. Your notice, PAN and financial documents are stored securely, used only to prepare and file your response, and never shared. You can ask us to delete them after the case closes. Our handling follows India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act throughout.
Upload the notice before 6 PM IST and we aim to triage it the same day. Once you approve the drafted response, filing on the e-proceedings portal follows quickly. For scrutiny and reassessment matters, your CA maps out the timeline hearing by hearing so you always know the next step.
