If you have received a notice from the Income Tax Department under Section 133(6) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, it is important to understand what it means and how to respond.
Section 133(6) of the Income Tax Act empowers the Income Tax Department to require any person to furnish information or documents relevant to a tax inquiry or proceeding. This notice can be issued to the taxpayer himself, or to any other person who has information about the taxpayer's income or financial transactions.
There are a number of reasons why you might receive a Section 133(6) notice. Some common reasons include:
You have not filed your income tax return (ITR).
Your ITR is incomplete or inaccurate.
The Income Tax Department has received information about your income or financial transactions that does not match the information you have disclosed in your ITR.
The Income Tax Department is investigating a specific transaction or source of income.
If you receive a Section 133(6) notice, it is important to respond promptly and completely. The notice will specify the information or documents that you are required to furnish, and the deadline for doing so. If you fail to respond to the notice, or if you do not provide all of the required information or documents, you may be liable for a penalty.
To respond to a Section 133(6) notice, you can either submit the required information or documents in person to the Income Tax Department office, or you can submit them online through the e-Filing portal. If you are submitting the information or documents online, you will need to create an e-Filing account if you do not already have one.
If you are unsure about how to respond to a Section 133(6) notice, or if you need help gathering the required information or documents, you should consult with a qualified tax professional.
Be honest and accurate in your response.
Provide all of the required information and documents.
If you are unable to provide all of the required information or documents by the deadline, contact the Income Tax Department to request an extension.
If you have any questions or concerns, consult with a qualified tax professional.
Receiving a Section 133(6) notice can be stressful, but it is important to remember that it is not necessarily a sign of trouble. The Income Tax Department may simply need additional information from you to verify your income or financial transactions. By responding promptly and completely to the notice, you can minimize any inconvenience and avoid any potential penalties.
