Section 270A of the Income Tax Act imposes heavy penalties when income is misreported or under-reported. A 200% penalty applies to misreporting, while a 50% penalty is levied for under-reporting, making accuracy in tax reporting essential. Many taxpayers face these penalties due to missing income, incorrect disclosures, poor documentation, or delays in filing. Preventing such outcomes requires a clear understanding of what qualifies as misreporting, how the tax department tr

Income tax refunds sometimes appear as “credited” on the CPC portal but fail to show up in bank statements, leaving taxpayers confused about what went wrong. The issue usually stems from incorrect bank details, PAN–bank mismatches, or delays in interbank settlement systems. With the latest refund rules, pre-validated bank accounts and correct IFSC details are essential for timely credit. Understanding these reasons helps identify whether the problem lies with the Income Tax D

An income tax notice for non-disclosure of income is issued when the Income Tax Department identifies earnings that do not appear in your filed return. Such mismatches often arise from bank deposits, AIS data, Form 26AS , TDS records, or high-value financial transactions flagged through automated reporting systems. The goal of the notice is to correct discrepancies, seek clarification, or request additional disclosure to ensure accurate assessment. Understanding the reason be

Refund reissue requests often get denied when bank details fail validation, TDS entries do not match the Income Tax Department records, ITR verification is incomplete, or documents supporting deductions are missing. Denial simply means the system could not process the refund due to mismatches or unresolved issues. The Income Tax portal allows taxpayers to correct details, file rectification requests, or raise a grievance to get refunds reprocessed. Most cases are resolved by

Interest income mismatch between the Annual Information Statement and the Income Tax Return is one of the most frequent issues flagged during tax processing in India. Banks, NBFCs, and other entities often report interest at different times, causing figures in AIS to differ from what appears in the taxpayer’s ITR. These discrepancies commonly trigger notices under sections 143(1) or 139(9) , delay refunds, or lead to incorrect tax calculations. Early reconciliation helps avoi

A Section 143(1) intimation often highlights mismatches in income, deductions, or tax credits, prompting many taxpayers to recheck their original filing. When the numbers in the intimation differ from what was reported, a revised return under Section 139(5) becomes the corrective tool to ensure accuracy. Filing it on time helps prevent unnecessary tax demands, interest, or scrutiny. Platforms like TaxBuddy naturally simplify this journey by identifying discrepancies and guidi

Generic FAQs often fall short when taxpayers face the intricacies of Income Tax Return (ITR) filing, especially with multiple income sources, varying deductions, and evolving tax laws. For individuals with salary, business income, capital gains, crypto investments, or foreign assets, relying solely on FAQs can lead to errors, delays, or notices from the Income Tax Department.

Income tax notices can unsettle even the most diligent taxpayer. With AI-powered platforms transforming routine filing, many assume the same technology can manage notices.
