Income Tax Case / Scrutiny Compliance

Income Tax Assessment / Scrutiny Handling

Why Scrutiny Compliance is Important

Receiving an income tax notice can be daunting for individuals or businesses. Handling it professionally is crucial to avoid penalties, interest, or legal consequences. Timely and accurate responses ensure smooth resolution, maintain your financial reputation, and prevent escalations to appellate or prosecution stages.
Agarwal Avinash & Co provides expert assistance throughout the scrutiny cycle-from understanding the notice to drafting responses, representing before authorities, and ensuring post-order compliance-so you never face the tax department alone.

About Scrutiny Notices

Income tax scrutiny is a detailed examination by the Income Tax Department to verify the correctness of returns filed under the Income Tax Act, 1961. Notices are commonly issued under:

Section 143(2): To verify selected returns for detailed scrutiny.
Section 142(1): To call for specific information or further evidence.
Section 148 / 147: For income escaping assessment (reassessment cases).
Section 153A: For assessments after search and seizure operations.
These proceedings demand accurate documentation, factual reconciliation, and legally sound representations at each stage.
