What Is an Income Tax Notice?
An Income Tax Notice is an official communication sent by the Income Tax Department to the taxpayer for various reasons such as:
Income Discrepancies: When the income declared in your tax return is inconsistent with the data available with the authorities.
Underreporting of Income: If you have reported less income than what the authorities have on their records, a notice will be issued to clarify and justify the difference.
Tax Dues: If the authorities find that the taxes paid by you are less than what is due, they may issue a notice requesting the remaining balance.
Failure to File Returns: A notice may be issued if you have failed to file your returns on time, requiring you to submit them immediately.
Scrutiny or Audit: The Income Tax Department may initiate a scrutiny or audit process if they suspect issues in the filed tax returns.
Non-Compliance with TDS: If there are issues related to the TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) filings, a notice may be issued to correct or update the filings.
