FAQ about scrutiny assessment 142(1) / 143(2)
What is a section 143(1) intimation?
An automated communication after your return is processed. It shows the income and tax as filed versus as computed by the department. If there is a demand or reduced refund, you can respond or file a rectification under 154 within 30 days.
What is a defective return notice under 139(9)?
The department found an inconsistency, for example income shown in AIS but not in the return, or a missing schedule. You must respond within 15 days or the return is treated as invalid.
How long do I have to reply to a notice?
It depends on the section: 15 days for 139(9), 30 days for 143(1) responses, and the date printed on the notice for 142(1), 143(2) and GST notices. Missing the date can lead to best-judgment assessment. Upload your notice and we tell you the exact deadline.
Is the triage really free?
Yes. We read the notice, tell you what it means and what a reply involves, and quote a fixed fee. There is no charge if you decide not to proceed.
