Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Tax notices ke baare me sabhi sawalo ke jawab.

Kya har notice ka matlab tax chori hota hai?

Nahi! Bahut se notices sirf informational hote hain (Section 139(9) - Defective Return). Inka matlab sirf ye hota hai ki aapne koi choti galti ki hai jise aap theek kar sakte hain.

AIS (Annual Information Statement) kya hota hai?

AIS ek detailed statement hai jisme Income Tax department ke paas aapki saari financial transactions ka record hota hai—jaise bank interest, dividends, shares sale, aur high value spends.

Notice aane par sabse pehle kya karein?

Dariye mat! Sabse pehle Income Tax portal par login karke notice ka category check karein. Agar complex scrutiny notice hai, toh turant kisi CA se sampark karein.

E-Verification na karne se notice aata hai?

Haan, agar aapne ITR file karne ke 30 din ke andar e-verify nahi kiya, toh aapka ITR invalid maana jayega aur aapko "Non-filing" ka notice aa sakta hai.

DIN (Document Identification Number) kya hai?

Har genuine Income Tax notice par ek unique DIN hona zaroori hai. Agar notice par DIN nahi hai, toh wo invalid mana ja sakta hai.

Gift lene par tax notice aa sakta hai?

Agar aapko apne blood relatives ke alawa kisi se ₹50,000 se zyada ka gift milta hai, toh wo taxable hota hai. Isse report na karne par notice aa sakta hai.

Cash deposit ki limit kya hai?

Savings account me saal bhar me ₹10 Lakh se zyada cash deposit karne par bank Income Tax department ko "SFT" report bhejta hai, jisse notice ka chance badh jata hai.

Fake HRA claim karne par kitni penalty lagti hai?

Pakde jaane par aapko tax chori ka 200% tak penalty bharni pad sakti hai aur jail bhi ho sakti hai. Humesha asli receipts hi use karein.
