What Is an Income Tax Return Notice?

An Income Tax Return Notice or communication may be issued by the Income Tax Department or CPC for different reasons, such as a defective return, adjustment, clarification, verification, information request or other tax-related proceedings.

Don't Ignore an Income Tax Communication

Every notice should be read carefully. The assessment year/tax year, notice section, communication reference, issue raised and response due date can be important in deciding the appropriate action.

A proper response generally requires understanding the issue first, checking the relevant tax records and then submitting the appropriate information or explanation through the applicable process.
