About Income Tax Notice
Income tax notices are issued for many reasons: a mismatch with AIS, a defective return, a high-value transaction, scrutiny selection or reassessment. Every notice has a deadline, and missing it can lead to additions and penalties.
NewStarts reads the notice, identifies what the department is asking, collects evidence and files a clear, documented response on the e-filing portal. For faceless assessments, we handle submissions end to end.
What is Income Tax Notice?
An income tax notice is a communication from the Income Tax Department asking a taxpayer to file a return, correct a return, explain information or produce evidence, or informing them of an adjustment or demand, issued under the applicable provisions of the Income-tax Act. Returns for income earned up to 31 March 2026 (AY 2026-27) are filed under the Income-tax Act, 1961. Income from 1 April 2026 falls under the Income-tax Act, 2025, which uses the term 'tax year'. Notices for earlier years continue under the 1961 Act.
