The 2026 Reality: Automated Scrutiny

1. High-Value Transactions
Cash deposits >₹10L or property purchases >₹30L are auto-reported by banks and registrars.
2. AIS/26AS Mismatch
If your ITR income doesn’t match the Annual Information Statement (AIS), a notice is triggered instantly.
3. Excess Refund Claims
Claiming HRA or 80G without actual proof is the #1 reason for Section 143(1)(a) notices this year.

Real Results: ₹13.6 Lakhs Saved in a Single Notice
A client sold an inherited plot and didn’t report it. The department issued a notice for ₹18 Lakhs.
Instead of just “replying,” we performed Notice Reconstruction. We calculated the indexed cost from the original purchase year (Section 48) and reduced the final tax to only ₹4.4 Lakhs.

Are You Crossing the “Reporting Limits”?
UPI & Digital Mismatch
High UPI transaction volume without matching ITR income is a new 2026 scrutiny trigger for small businesses and freelancers.
Cash Deposits (SFT)
Banks report cash deposits >₹10L in savings or >₹50L in current accounts. If unexplained, it triggers a “Nudge” or Scrutiny.
Property & NRI Purchase
TDS on property from an NRI is mandatory regardless of value. Missing this attracts heavy interest and notices.
The ₹10 Lakh Penalty: Schedule FA Errors
Did you receive a “Nudge” alert for foreign assets? Even a dormant US bank account or unvested ESOPs must be disclosed under the Black Money Act.

RESOLVE MY NOTICE NOWPractical Questions & Expert Remedies
Providing the clarity and confidence you need to resolve your tax matters.
The Issue: Both employers gave you the basic tax exemption, leading to under-taxation. The AI flags this in your Form 26AS instantly.
The Remedy: We calculate your combined tax liability, pay the difference with interest (Sec 234B/C), and file a proper response to the Section 143(1) intimation to avoid penalty.
The Issue: The Sub-Registrar reports every sale >₹30L. Even if the tax is zero (due to Section 54 reinvestment), the transaction must be reported in your ITR.
The Remedy: We file a Notice Reconstruction, calculating the correct indexed cost and proving your reinvestment to drop the demand.
The Issue: Non-disclosure in Schedule FA carries a flat ₹10 Lakh penalty under the Black Money Act.
The Remedy: We file a Revised ITR-2/ITR-3 to disclose these assets properly, utilizing DTAA benefits to ensure you aren’t taxed twice.
The Issue: Reassessment means the officer believes income has ‘escaped assessment.’ This is very serious.
The Remedy: We contest the Section 148A show-cause notice by proving that all income was either reported or is below the threshold, stopping the reassessment before it starts.
The Reality: Most assessments are now Faceless. However, for old cases or serious investigations, we represent you personally before the AO with a valid Power of Attorney (Form 2848). You don’t have to face the tax office alone.
Why Salaried Professionals Get Notices
1. The Dual Form-16 Trap
When switching jobs, failure to disclose previous employer’s income to the current employer results in under-taxation. The AI flags this mismatch between your ITR and Form-26AS instantly.
2. Regime Optimization Errors
Claiming HRA or car maintenance in your ITR when your Form-16 was issued under the New Tax Regime is a guaranteed scrutiny trigger. We help you choose the right regime legally.
