Reply to a Simple Income Tax Mismatch Notice

Answer what you can. The draft beside these boxes is rewritten as you go, so you can see exactly what each answer does to the document.

What you type stays in this browser. Moving to a new step asks this site to draw it, but nothing is kept anywhere until you choose to keep a copy — and closing this tab loses it.

Nothing is amiss in what you have written. The document is simply not finished, and the draft marks each gap where an answer will go.

The live draft

The draft, as it stands

This is the document as far as you have reached, not the whole of it yet — the rest appears as you answer more questions. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

REPLY TO A TAX NOTICE ABOUT A DIFFERENCE IN RECORDS

Subject: Reply to the notice __________ dated __________ for __________. PAN: __________.

I am replying within the time the notice allows or, if I am late, I ask that my reply be taken on record. I ask that the difference be corrected or the matter closed on the basis of this reply, and that I be given a chance to be heard before any adverse order is made.

This is my own reply letter written in my own words. The tax portal may ask for the response in its own online format, in which case I will respond there with the same particulars. The statements above are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

PERSONAL DATA NOTICE

This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Personal data in this document is collected only to answer the tax notice and support the taxpayer's explanation, communicate about that purpose, verify the information expressly supplied, and retain an evidentiary record.

The record will be held by __________ and may be shown only to the taxpayer, the tax office or processing centre that sent the notice, and the taxpayer's tax adviser or accountant, and to a statutory or tax authority where disclosure is required for the matter recorded here.

If the matter does not go ahead, or this document is withdrawn before it is used, the personal data will be retained for 90 days from that decision and then erased. If it is used, the record will be retained for 12 months after the matter ends and then erased, except for a record that a statute requires to be kept for a longer named period.

Data minimisation: this document deliberately does not require a full Aadhaar number, Aadhaar-card copy, passwords or unrelated identity material. Detailed KYC should remain in the separate KYC workflow; tax or payment identifiers are collected here only where the whole purpose of this document requires them.

The rest stays out of view until every answer is in.

Reading costs nothing. Keeping a copy needs an account.

The opening of the draft is on this page as you answer it. Once every answer is in, the button below opens the whole draft, watermarked — still without an account. Printing it, or keeping a clean copy, is where an account is asked for. That is the whole arrangement.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
