Critical Taxpayer Mistakes
Ignoring Portal Notices
Not checking the E-Filing portal is not an excuse. Deemed service applies, to ex-parte orders.
Missed Appeal Deadline
Appeal to CIT(A) must be filed within 30 days of service of order. Condonation of delay is difficult.
Inaccurate Reply
Admitting facts casually in the initial reply can be used against you in higher forums. Precision is key.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I avoid 300% penalty on undisclosed income?
Yes. If we can prove that the income was not "undisclosed" but merely a "difference in opinion" on accounting, penalties under Sec 270A can be waived.
What if I missed the deadline to file an appeal?
You can file a Condonation of Delay application. We need to show "sufficient cause" (medical, non-service of order) to get the delay excused by CIT(A).
Are GST notices for mismatch valid?
Many auto-generated GST notices (ASMT-10) are factually incorrect. A detailed reconciliation reply usually drops the demand without paying a rupee.
Can I get a refund of tax seized during a raid?
Yes. Tax collected during search/survey without a demand order is illegal. We can file a Writ Petition in the High Court to claim it back with interest.
