I  logged into income tax website to check my ITR status and I saw notice of Communication of proposed adjustment u/s 143(1)(a). I didn’t submit any response as 30days time limit is over. What am I supposed to do now?

Update on 7 Sep: Many readers have said that for them after limit of 30 days the eProceedings link got opened again. Please follow steps in our article Communication of proposed adjustment u/s 143(1)(a) and e-Assessment/proceeding 

Overview of if you did not respond to Communication of proposed adjustment under 143(1)(a)

Please note that as per the notice, shown in the image below,

The response received shall be considered before making any adjustment. In case, no response is received within 30 days (thirty days) of the issue of this intimation, the return of income will be processed after making necessary adjustment(s) u/s 143(1)(a) of Income Tax Act, 1961 without providing any further opportunities in this matter.

  • Sadly there is no way to reply after 30 days. The link for e-proceedings gets closed.
  • We expect that You should get another email/notice from Income Tax Department asking you to pay extra tax for which demand was raised. You can expect Notice under Section 143(1) /Section 139(9). If you get Demand Notice earlier Income Tax Department allowed one to pay the outstanding tax if you agree or you can reject the Outstanding demand. We are not sure if this option would be available.
  • If you have missed the communications because your Mobile or Email Id was not set up then either check the status regularly by logging to Income Tax website, going to My Account >> e-Filed Returns/Form . Or setup Mobile and Email id for receiving SMS and emails from Income Tax.
