What Is an Income Tax Scrutiny Assessment?

An Income Tax Scrutiny Assessment is initiated when the Income Tax Department examines your return in detail to verify income, deductions, losses, or transactions.

Scrutiny notices are commonly issued under:

  • Section 143(2) – Selection of return for scrutiny

  • Section 142(1) – Call for information and documents

If not handled properly, scrutiny proceedings can result in:

  • Additions to income

  • Penalties and interest

  • Disallowance of deductions

  • Prolonged litigation

Who Needs Scrutiny Assessment Support?

This service is ideal for:

  • Salaried individuals with high-value transactions

  • Business owners and professionals

  • F&O traders and investors

  • NRIs with Indian income

  • Capital gains and property sale cases

  • Cash deposits and bank mismatch cases

  • Crypto, foreign income, or complex transactions

Why Expert Handling Is Critical in Scrutiny Cases

Scrutiny assessments are legal proceedings, not routine compliance.

Without expert support, taxpayers often face:

  • Incorrect additions due to poor explanations

  • Missed deadlines on the e-Proceedings portal

  • Rejection of genuine claims

  • Avoidable penalties

Professional representation ensures your case is presented correctly—both legally and factually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is receiving a scrutiny notice common?

No. Returns are selected for scrutiny through risk-based and random selection. Receiving a notice does not automatically mean wrongdoing.

Is personal appearance required?

In most cases, scrutiny proceedings are conducted online. Physical appearance is rarely required.

What is the time limit to respond to scrutiny notices?

Each notice specifies a response deadline. Missing deadlines can result in adverse orders or penalties.

Can scrutiny result in penalties?

Yes, if explanations are unsatisfactory or income is concealed. Proper handling helps minimize this risk.

What if I disagree with the scrutiny assessment order?

You may file rectification or appeal before CIT(A), depending on the nature of the issue.
