Guidelines for Responding to Income Tax Return Notices

When faced with a notice from the Income Tax Department regarding the non-filing of an Income Tax Return, taxpayers must promptly respond.

Step 2: Navigate to the Compliance Menu Tab, where you can review your non-filing status.

Step 3: Select ‘View and Submit Compliance’ to proceed with your response. (If you’ve already submitted a reply, you can access it through ‘View my submission.’)

Step 6: To check the status of your response, navigate to the ‘Compliance’ tab and select ‘View my submission.’

Step 7: The Income Tax Department will verify the response submitted. If deemed satisfactory, the case will be closed. You can also download your response as a PDF by clicking on ‘Response PDF.’ To check your response status with the department, click on ‘Compliance Ask Number.’
