About Scrutiny Assessment
Scrutiny assessment is conducted by the Income Tax Department to verify the correctness of income, deductions, and claims made in a tax return. Notices are typically issued under Section 143(2), requiring taxpayers to provide supporting documents and explanations. Proper handling is essential to avoid additions, penalties, or prolonged litigation.
