Respond to scrutiny, inquiry and reassessment notices, appeal an unfair order to the CIT(A) or the Tribunal, or fix an obvious mistake with a rectification — all drafted to the right form and timeline. Built for taxpayers and the CAs and tax counsel who represent them.
Each notice specifies its own deadline — often 15 to 30 days — and replies are filed through the e-Proceedings facility on the income-tax portal. Missing the date can lead to a best-judgment assessment, so respond on time.
An appeal to the Commissioner (Appeals) in Form 35 must be filed within 30 days of service of the order, after paying the admitted tax. A delay can be condoned only if you show sufficient cause.
An appeal to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal in Form 36 must be filed within 60 days of communication of the CIT(A) order. The ITAT is the final fact-finding authority, so the grounds of appeal are important.
Use a Section 154 rectification for an obvious, non-debatable mistake apparent from the record (e.g., a TDS-credit mismatch or arithmetical error). Use an appeal for issues that are debatable or involve a question of law.
No. They are document-preparation aids generated from your inputs and are not legal advice under the Advocates Act, 1961. Have the draft reviewed by a chartered accountant or tax counsel before filing, especially for scrutiny, reassessment, or appeals.
