Yes. With physical offices in Chennai, Bangalore, and Mumbai, and the ability to appear before NFAC (faceless) and ITAT benches across India, we handle income tax matters nationwide. CA V. Viswanathan (FCA) is authorised to represent assessees before all income tax authorities.
What does this income-tax notice require, and what should I submit?
First identify the notice: an intimation of adjustments after processing (section 143(1)), a scrutiny notice (section 143(2)) with questions under section 142(1), a reassessment notice (sections 148A and 148), or a demand or penalty notice (the Income-tax Act, 1961 for tax years up to 2025-26; the corresponding provisions of the Income-tax Act, 2025 from tax year 2026-27). Check the assessment year, the Document Identification Number, the date of service and the deadline. Then gather what is asked for, reconcile the department’s figures with your return and AIS, and reply on the e-filing portal, asking for an adjournment or a hearing where needed. Ignoring a notice can lead to a best-judgement assessment and penalties. We review the notice confidentially and prepare the reply and supporting schedule.
