Most income tax disputes involving NGOs begin with a notice that looks routine. Left unanswered, or answered without the supporting reconciliation, it turns into a demand and an exemption that has to be defended.
Matters we handle
- Mismatch notices — differences between the return and Form 26AS / AIS, TDS credits, or donation data reported in Form 10BD
- Scrutiny assessments — drafting replies, compiling documentation and appearing through the faceless assessment process
- Demand notices — verifying whether the demand is correct, and rectification where it is not
- Defective or delayed returns — responses to defect notices and consequential filings
- Application of income and accumulation queries — establishing that receipts were applied to the registered objects
How we work
We start by reconciling the books to what the department already has, because most mismatch notices are a data problem rather than a legal one. Where a genuine legal position is involved, we set it out early and consistently — the reply at the assessment stage is what an appellate authority reads later.
