Income Tax Assessment / Scrutiny Handling

How It Works

1. 1

   Notice Review and Case Analysis

   Our team reviews the scrutiny notice, questionnaire, and your filed return in detail to understand the issues raised and assess the risk exposure. We obtain a Power of Attorney to represent you before the Department.

2. 2

   Document Collection and Preparation

   We compile all required documents, reconcile the figures in the return with books of accounts, and prepare a detailed written submission addressing each query raised by the Assessing Officer.

3. 3

   Filing Submissions on ITBA Portal

   All submissions, documents, and replies are filed on the Income Tax Business Application portal within the deadlines specified in the notice. We maintain an organised record of all filings.

4. 4

   Hearing Representation

   Our authorised representative attends hearings before the Assessing Officer and presents the taxpayer's position orally and in writing, responding to additional queries raised during the proceedings.

5. 5

   Negotiation and Further Submissions

   Where the Assessing Officer proposes additions, we submit show-cause replies and supporting case law to contest the proposed additions and seek deletion or reduction.

6. 6

   Assessment Order Review and Next Steps

   After the assessment order is passed, we review it for correctness, advise on the demand payable, and recommend whether to file a rectification application under Section 154 or an appeal under Section 246A before CIT(A).
