Understand and Respond the Right Way
An income tax notice often feels alarming. But most notices are simply requests for clarification or additional information. Problems usually grow only when replies are delayed or drafted without proper understanding.
At N D Savla & Associates, we help you decode the notice, identify mismatches, and prepare accurate responses within the required timeline. Our chartered accountants regularly represent clients before the Income Tax Department and handle matters end-to-end.
