Income Tax Notice Assistance

Don’t let a tax notice leave you confused.

Receiving an Income Tax notice can be stressful — especially when you are unsure why it was issued, what the Department is asking for, or whether you actually need to pay any additional tax.

At Cleanfilings, we help you understand your notice and identify the right course of action. Our experts review the notice, explain the issue in simple language, assess the information involved, and guide you on the appropriate response.

What We Help With

Our Income Tax Notice Assistance service can help you with notices relating to:

• Income or TDS mismatches
• AIS / Form 26AS discrepancies
• Non-filing or delayed filing of ITR
• Undisclosed income or transactions
• Capital gains and property transactions
• High-value transactions reported by banks or other institutions
• Refund-related queries
• Demand notices
• Scrutiny and verification notices
• Notices seeking additional information or documents
• Other Income Tax Department communications

How It Works

1. Upload Your Notice
Share a copy of the Income Tax notice with us along with the relevant ITR and supporting information, wherever required.

2. Expert Review
Our tax professional reviews the notice and the underlying issue to understand what the Department is asking for.

3. Understand the Issue
We explain the notice in simple terms — what it means, why it may have been issued, and what action is required.

4. Know Your Options
Based on the facts, we guide you on the appropriate course of action, such as submitting information, filing a response, correcting an error, or taking further proceedings where applicable.

5. Take the Right Action
Once the appropriate response is determined, you can proceed with confidence instead of making an incorrect or incomplete submission.

Real-Life Example

Situation:
Rahul filed his ITR declaring total income of ₹8,50,000. A few months later, he received an Income Tax notice stating that there was a difference between the income reported in his ITR and information available with the Department.

Rahul checked his ITR but could not understand the reason for the mismatch.

After reviewing the notice and his records, it was found that his bank had reported ₹75,000 of interest income, which Rahul had unintentionally missed while filing his ITR.

The notice did not necessarily mean that Rahul had committed tax fraud or that the entire amount mentioned in the notice was payable immediately. The first step was to understand the exact discrepancy and verify the information.

An expert could then help Rahul determine whether:

• the income was actually his;
• the income had already been included elsewhere in the return;
• the information reported by the bank was correct;
• additional tax was actually payable; and
• a response, correction, or updated return was appropriate.

The key point: A notice should not be ignored, but it also should not be acted upon blindly.
