Service overview

What this service is

This service handles income tax notices end to end — reading what the department has actually asked, reconciling the data behind it and filing a reply. It is for individuals and businesses who have received an intimation, mismatch notice or scrutiny communication and need it answered correctly and on time. Bluman diagnoses the notice type, reconciles your data against AIS and Form 26AS, assembles the supporting evidence, drafts the reply and tracks follow-up on the income tax portal.

Who needs it

Individuals and businesses who have received a communication from the Income Tax Department — an intimation under section 143(1), a defective-return notice, a mismatch or non-filing communication, or a scrutiny notice — and need it answered accurately within the time allowed.

What Bluman will do

  • Read the notice and identify precisely what has been asked, under which section, and the date by which a response must be submitted.
  • Reconcile the figures in the notice against your filed return, Form 26AS, AIS and TIS to find where the difference actually arises.
  • Assemble the supporting evidence — bank statements, contract notes, deduction proofs, ledgers — and identify anything missing before drafting.
  • Draft the reply on the merits, referencing the relevant provisions and the evidence relied on, rather than a generic acceptance or denial.
  • File the response on the income tax portal and record the acknowledgement.
  • Follow up on the portal, and tell you plainly what the likely next step is — including whether rectification, a revised or updated return, or an appeal is the appropriate route.

Key deliverables

  • Written analysis of what the notice asks and the exposure involved
  • Reconciliation working showing the source of the difference
  • Drafted reply with an indexed evidence pack
  • Filed response with the portal acknowledgement

Notices are time-bound and the response deadline printed on the notice governs the engagement. Work starts on receipt of the notice and the supporting records; the department's processing time afterwards is outside anyone's control.

  • · Government fees, portal charges and applicable taxes are billed at actuals.
  • · Timelines start once complete documents and information are received.
  • · Outcomes that depend on a government authority cannot be guaranteed, but every step is tracked and communicated.

Documents required

  • The notice or intimation received (PDF from the portal or email)
  • Copy of the return filed for the relevant year with the computation
  • Form 26AS, AIS and TIS for that year
  • Bank statements and supporting documents for the items questioned
  • Deduction and investment proofs relevant to the query
  • Income tax portal login access

What we need from you

  • Share the notice as soon as you receive it — a shortened window limits what can be argued.
  • Provide complete and accurate supporting records; a reply is only as strong as its evidence.
  • Pay any tax or interest that is genuinely due, where the analysis shows the department is right.

Important conditions

  • Bluman prepares and files the reply and follows up. The assessment outcome is decided by the Income Tax Department and cannot be guaranteed.
  • Scope is assessed after reading the notice. Scrutiny assessments, appeals before the CIT(A) and tribunal representation are quoted separately.
  • Additional tax, interest and penalty determined by the department are payable by you.

Frequently asked questions

Which notices are covered?

The service starts with a diagnosis of the notice you received. Scope, effort and any additional work needed are confirmed with you after that review.

How urgent is a notice reply?

Most notices carry a response deadline stated in the notice itself. Share it as early as possible so the reply can be prepared within that window.

What if the notice is because of an AIS mismatch?

Data reconciliation against AIS and Form 26AS is part of the service, and the reconciled position is what the drafted reply is built on.
