    Frequently Asked Questions

    Don't respond on your own and don't ignore it. Send it to us before the deadline - we'll tell you exactly what it means and what response it needs.

    It depends on the facts and the amount involved. We review your case first and give you an honest recommendation - we don't push litigation just because it's a bigger engagement.

    It varies by stage - a notice response can close in weeks, while an appeal at tribunal level can take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline for your specific case, not a generic estimate.

    In most cases, we represent you directly before the assessing officer or appellate authority, so you don't have to appear yourself.

    The same team stays with you - from the original notice through to CIT(A), ITAT, or DRP if it goes that far. You won't have to brief a new advisor partway through.

    Both. We handle income tax, GST, and cases involving search, seizure, and specialized investigations under one team.

    Your first case review is free and confidential - you'll know exactly where you stand before committing to anything.
