Income Tax Notice under Section 143(1) 

About Our Service

What is Intimation Notice under Section 143(1)?   

An intimation under Section 143(1) of the Income Tax Act is an official letter from the Income Tax Department sent after you file your return. It confirms the details you declared income, deductions, and taxes paid and highlights any changes or corrections made by the department.

In short, the notice summarizes whether:

  • Your return has been accepted as filed,

  • Additional tax is payable, or

  • A refund is due to you.

It helps you understand your tax position and the next steps you may need to take, such as paying any difference, filing a rectification, or confirming that no further action is needed.

Time Limit for Sending Intimation under Section 143(1)   

The department has a fixed deadline to issue this intimation:

  • The intimation must be issued within 9 months from the end of the financial year in which the return was filed.

Example :

If you filed your ITR for FY 2022–23 (ending on March 31, 2023), the last date for the department to send an intimation under Section 143(1) is December 31, 2024.

If you do not receive any notice within this time, it means your return has been processed successfully with no discrepancies found.

Types of Adjustments under Section 143(1)  

When your return is processed, the Centralized Processing Centre (CPC) automatically checks your data. If differences are detected, the following types of adjustments may be made:

  1. Calculation Mistakes – Any mathematical or computation errors are automatically corrected in your ITR.

  2. Disallowed Claims – If you claimed ineligible deductions or exemptions, those are disallowed by the department.

  3. TDS Mismatches – If your TDS/TCS figures don’t match with Form 26AS or AIS, your refund or tax payable is recalculated.

  4. Unreported Income – Any income not shown in your return but reflected in AIS or Form 26AS is added back to your total income.

  5. Loss Claims – Business losses that don’t meet the carry-forward rules are adjusted or disallowed.

  6. Incorrect Status – If you declared the wrong residential status (resident/non-resident), it is corrected for accurate tax calculation.

  7. Refund Adjustments – If you have outstanding dues, your refund may be adjusted against previous liabilities.

Key Points to Remember   

  1. Automated Process: The 143(1) intimation is generated automatically using system-based comparison no manual scrutiny at this stage.

  2. Clear Notification: The intimation clearly mentions any differences and reasons for adjustment.

  3. Response Timeline: You must respond within 30 days if you disagree with the adjustments made.

  4. Right to Disagree: If you find any error, you can file a rectification under Section 154 through the Income Tax portal.

  5. Professional Help: Ebizfiling experts review both your filed return and CPC adjustments to draft an accurate, compliant reply.

FAQs

FAQs on Income Tax Notice Section 143(1)   

Get answers to all your queries

  • What is Section 143(1) of the Income Tax Act?

    Section 143(1) is an intimation sent after processing your Income Tax Return. It shows whether the return is accepted, refund is due, tax is payable, or adjustments are made based on data like Form 26AS, AIS, and TDS.

  • Why did I receive a notice under Section 143(1)?

    You may get this notice due to mismatches in income, incorrect deductions, tax calculation errors, or discrepancies between your ITR and Form 26AS/AIS/TDS records. Even small clerical issues can trigger it.

  • Does a Section 143(1) notice always mean I owe tax?

    No. The notice may confirm acceptance of your return, indicate a refund, or show additional tax payable. It is not always a demand—it simply compares your ITR with department records.

  • How much time do I have to respond to a Section 143(1) notice?

    You must respond within 30 days from the date on the notice. Missing the deadline may cause your return to be treated as invalid or lead to penalties or additional tax liabilities.

  • What happens if I ignore the notice?

    Ignoring it may result in penalties, your return being marked defective, or further scrutiny under Section 143(2). If tax is payable, interest and penalties may also apply.

  • How can I view or download my 143(1) notice online?

    Log in to the Income Tax portal, go to ‘e-Proceedings’ or ‘View Notices/Orders’ under ‘Pending Actions,’ select the Assessment Year, and click ‘Download’ next to the intimation.

  • Can I file a rectification if I disagree with the computation?

    Yes. You can file a Rectification Request under Section 154 to correct issues like incorrect TDS, unclaimed deductions, or clerical mistakes. File rectification only after carefully reviewing the notice.

  • What documents are needed to respond to a 143(1) notice?

    Filed ITR copy, acknowledgment, Form 26AS, AIS/TIS reports, the CPC intimation, and supporting proofs like salary slips, bank statements, or investment documents.

  • Is it mandatory to hire a CA for responding to this notice?

    No, but taking help from a CA or experts like Ebizfiling is advisable for accurate computation, correct interpretation, and a proper response to avoid scrutiny or penalties.

  • Will I receive a refund if extra tax was paid?

    Yes. If processing shows excess tax paid, your refund is issued directly to your pre-validated bank account once the 143(1) intimation is confirmed.

  • What does “No Discrepancy Found” in the notice mean?

    It means your ITR has been accepted as filed. Income, deductions, and tax liability match the department’s data, and no further action is needed.

  • What should I do if my tax liability increases after comparison?

    Review the adjustments made. If correct, pay the additional tax promptly through the income tax portal to avoid interest under Sections 234A/B/C and penalties.

  • Can salaried employees also receive this notice?

    Yes. Mismatches in TDS, missed income sources (interest/freelancing), or incorrect deduction claims often cause salaried taxpayers to receive such notices.

  • How long does it take to prepare a response?

    Ebizfiling usually prepares and files responses within 2–3 working days after receiving your documents, depending on the complexity of discrepancies.

  • Can a taxpayer receive multiple 143(1) notices?

    Yes. If revised returns or multiple ITRs are filed for the same year, separate intimations may be issued. Each must be reviewed individually.

  • Is sharing my e-filing login safe with professionals?

    With Ebizfiling, your data is fully encrypted and securely handled. You may also provide limited authorization instead of full credentials if preferred.

  • What if I disagree with the adjustments shown in the notice?

    You can respond using the “Disagree” option on the portal with supporting explanations, or file a Section 154 rectification with correct details and documentation.

  • What happens after I submit my reply?

    The CPC reviews your response and may issue a revised intimation or uphold the original computation. You can track updates under ‘e-Proceedings’ on the portal.

  • Can Ebizfiling assist with appeals or further steps?

    Yes. Ebizfiling helps with drafting replies, filing rectification requests, and handling appeals if needed, ensuring timely and compliant communication.

  • How can I contact Ebizfiling for help with my notice?

    You can visit www.ebizfiling.com or call +91 9643203209. Our team will review your notice, clarify the issue, and prepare your response within a few working days.

    I had a very complicated LLP striking off requirement. It took a long time due to Government (MCA) delays. Through out the period EbizFiling continued to support me and successfully completed the assignment. Truly stellar service, and I particularly want to thank Aman for his support. Will continue to do business with them.
