Have You Received an Income Tax Notice?
Do not panic or ignore the notice. Through myITreturn Notice Assistance, a tax expert can review the notice, understand the issue and guide you on the appropriate response or corrective action.
Income Tax notices may be issued for several reasons, such as a mismatch in reported income, missing information, an outstanding tax demand, a defective return or additional verification required by the Income Tax Department.
Follow the steps below to create a Notice Assistance case on myITreturn.
Before you begin:
- Keep a complete copy of the notice available.
- Check the notice date and the deadline for responding.
- Keep the relevant ITR, computation and supporting documents ready.
- Ensure that the uploaded notice is clear and readable.

Important Points to Remember
Do not ignore the response deadline. Creating a Notice Assistance case does not automatically extend or suspend the time allowed by the Income Tax Department for submitting a response.
Share the notice and requested documents promptly so that the expert has sufficient time to review the matter.
- Provide complete, accurate and readable documents.
- Inform the expert about any response already submitted against the notice.
- Do not conceal any income, transaction or communication relevant to the notice.
- Review any proposed response or calculation before approving its submission.
- Pay any applicable service fee, tax demand, interest or other amount separately, where required.
- Never share your password, OTP or other confidential login credentials.
Service scope: Notice Assistance provides professional review and guidance based on the notice and documents submitted. It does not guarantee that a tax demand will be deleted, a proceeding will be closed or that the Income Tax Department will accept a particular explanation or response.
