Any encounter with the Income Tax Department is usually dealt with stress and panic. The notice from the Income Tax Department becomes nerve-racking because most of the people do not understand what it entails or what would be the next pertinent step/response. We advise instead of stressing, plan your next move vigilantly- find out the reason by reading the notice with due assiduousness otherwise you might end up paying a hefty penalty apart from your taxes.

It is essential to patiently study and understand the problem to figure out under which Section does the notice fall to create a strong response. If there is any difficulty in doing the same, consult an expert.
Prepare and Submit your response on time: Carefully examine the information/documents needed as per the reason of issue of the notice. Prepare the cover letter with a set of all the documents and submit it on time to the Income Tax Department. Always make two sets of documents and get the second one stamped by the tax department in order to maintain the records and proof for submission. In case the documents are to be submitted online through the e-portal, take the screenshot of the acknowledgement message. In case you need more time to collect the information, file a request letter seeking more time with a fitting reason.
Consult an expert: If the severity of the notice is high, an expert should be consulted. He/she can help you understand the reasons and consequences of issued notice better. They can also help you file a strong response in the designated time.
