How we handle them
- Read the notice and tell you, in plain English, what it’s really asking and the deadline.
- Collect and organise the evidence; reconcile figures with the department’s records.
- File replies online and attend virtual hearings as your authorised representative.
- If an order goes against you, appeal to the Commissioner (Appeals) and onward — coordinating with counsel where a matter needs a lawyer.
Refunds of excess tax
Foreign companies and NRIs often have tax withheld at the wrong rate. We file the return, apply the treaty and follow the refund through. Related: India tax for foreign companies · NRI tax services.
Frequently asked questions
Can a foreign company respond to an Indian tax notice without travelling to India?
Yes. Most income-tax and GST proceedings are online and faceless; a Chartered Accountant can act as your authorised representative, file replies and attend virtual hearings.
What should an NRI do on receiving an income tax notice in India?
Check the deadline and what is asked, gather the documents (TDS certificates, sale deeds, bank statements) and reply on the e-filing portal — or appoint a CA as authorised representative to handle it.
Can you claim an Indian tax refund for a foreign company?
Yes — by filing an Indian return that applies the treaty rate and following the refund through the portal.
