Notices don't resolve themselves — and ignoring them makes it worse

A GST or income tax notice is rarely as bad as it looks on first read, but it does need a proper, timely response — ignore it and a routine mismatch query can escalate into a best-judgment assessment with a demand attached. Most notices are procedural: a data mismatch, a missing reconciliation, or a clarification request that a well-documented response resolves cleanly.

We review the notice, identify exactly what triggered it, gather the supporting records, and draft a response that addresses the specific query — whether that's a GSTR mismatch notice, a TDS defect notice, an income tax scrutiny assessment, or a show-cause notice under any head.

Why response quality matters

A vague or incomplete response often triggers a follow-up notice and extends the case. A precise response, backed by reconciled documentation, frequently closes a matter in a single round.

What you get

What's included

Support is scoped to the specific notice, but typically includes:

Notice review

We read the notice in full and identify the exact statutory provision and query being raised.

Root-cause analysis

The underlying mismatch or issue is traced back to source — a return, a ledger entry, or a missing document.

Response drafting

A formal, complete response is drafted addressing the specific query, with supporting annexures.

Portal filing

The response is filed through the relevant government portal (GST, income tax e-filing) within the deadline.

Representation

Where a personal hearing or assessment proceeding is required, we represent you or brief you thoroughly beforehand.

Follow-up tracking

We track the case to closure and flag any further action required.

Send it over today — response windows are often short, and early review gives us the most options.

How it works

How we handle your notice

1. Share the notice

Send us the notice as soon as you receive it — the response window starts from the date of issue, not from when you send it to us.

2. Review & document gathering

We identify the root cause and request any supporting documents needed to build the response.

3. Response & filing

The response is drafted, reviewed with you, and filed through the correct portal within the statutory deadline.

Typical timeline

Most straightforward mismatch notices are resolved within 7–10 days of receipt; scrutiny assessments can extend over weeks depending on the department's process.

Pricing

Pricing depends on the complexity and nature of the notice — a routine reconciliation notice costs meaningfully less than a full scrutiny assessment. See our pricing page for indicative ranges, or get an exact, itemised quote in one call.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

I got a notice — what should I do first?+
Don't ignore it and don't respond informally. Send it to us immediately so we can confirm the deadline and start building a proper response.
Can you handle notices for periods you didn't file?+
Yes — we regularly take on notice response work even where we weren't the original filer, once we've reviewed the underlying records.
Will I need to appear in person?+
Many matters are resolved through written response alone. Where a hearing is required, we can represent you or prepare you thoroughly for it.
What if the notice is about a genuine error?+
We'll tell you plainly if that's the case, help you understand the exposure, and manage the response and any resulting payment or correction professionally.

Don't let a notice sit unanswered.
