First, do not ignore the notice
Check the assessment year, section, communication date and response deadline. A notice does not automatically mean you owe tax, but the facts and records should be reviewed carefully.
Keep these details ready
- Complete notice or demand PDF
- PAN and relevant assessment year
- Filed income-tax return and computation
- Form 26AS, AIS and TIS
- Relevant bank, investment or property records
