Where an income tax appeal from Bihar is heard

If a notice in Bihar escalates beyond a reply, it helps to know the road ahead. Under the faceless system the assessment and first appeal are handled electronically by the National Faceless Centres, but the tribunal and court stages for Bihar are location-specific:

Assessing Officer / Faceless Assessment Centre
Your notice — 143(1), 142(1), 143(2) or 148 — originates here. Most are now faceless (NaFAC), so the reply is filed on the e-portal rather than at a local ward.
First appeal — CIT(A) / Faceless Appeal
If you disagree with the order, the first appeal lies with the Commissioner (Appeals) in Form 35, now largely through the National Faceless Appeal Centre.
Second appeal — ITAT Patna bench
Appeals from Bihar are heard by the Patna bench of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), the final fact-finding authority.
High Court — Patna High Court
A substantial question of law goes to the Patna High Court (Patna), which has jurisdiction over Bihar.
Supreme Court of India
The final stage, reserved for questions of law of national importance.

For administration, Bihar falls under the Pr. CCIT, Bihar & Jharkhand (Patna). We represent Bihar taxpayers at every stage above — from the first notice reply through to the Patna ITAT bench — so the same team carries your matter if it escalates.

Why Bihar taxpayers are getting income tax notices

The Income Tax Department has gone fully data-driven. Your return is now matched, automatically, against your AIS/TIS, Form 26AS, GST returns, bank SFT reports, property and vehicle registrations and share/mutual-fund data. When any of these don't reconcile with what you filed, a notice is generated automatically. The fix is a documented, CA-drafted reply filed before the deadline — exactly what we do.

Types of income tax notices we handle

143(1) Intimation u/s 143(1)

The automated intimation after your return is processed — flags a mismatch, an adjustment, a refund, or a demand. The most common notice of all.

139(9) Defective Return u/s 139(9)

Your return is treated as defective (wrong ITR form, missing schedules, tax not paid, P&L/balance-sheet not filled). You must respond within 15 days or the return is invalid.

142(1) Inquiry u/s 142(1)

A pre-assessment inquiry asking you to file a return or produce accounts, bank statements and documents.

143(2) Scrutiny u/s 143(2)

Your return is picked for detailed scrutiny — income, deductions and transactions will be examined. Timelines are strict.

148 Reassessment u/s 148 / 148A

The department believes income has escaped assessment and wants to reopen an earlier year. High-stakes — the reply and 148A objections decide whether it proceeds.

245 Refund Adjustment u/s 245

Your refund is being adjusted against an old demand. You get a short window to agree or object.

156 Demand Notice u/s 156

A formal demand for tax, interest or penalty payable — usually after an order.

133(6) Call for Information u/s 133(6)

The AO calls for specific information or documents about you or a transaction.

e-Campaign e-Campaign / High-Value SMS & Email

A soft nudge on high-value transactions in your AIS/TIS (cash deposits, property, shares, credit-card spend) asking you to confirm or revise.

Income tax notice FAQs — Bihar

I received an income tax notice in Bihar. What should I do first?

Note the section, the assessment year and the response deadline printed on the notice, and do not miss that date. Then send the notice to us on WhatsApp — we read it the same day and tell you what it means, the risk, and the plan.

Do you serve my district, even if it is a small town?

Yes. We serve every district in Bihar — Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur, Purnia and all the rest — entirely online, with a chartered accountant drafting and filing the reply.

What happens if I ignore the notice?

It escalates. A defective return can be treated as invalid, a refund can be forfeited, and under 142(1)/143(2)/148 the officer can complete the assessment ex-parte and raise a demand with interest and penalty. A timely reply protects your rights.

How much does it cost to reply to an income tax notice?

It depends on the section and the work. A simple 143(1) mismatch reply is modest; a full scrutiny or 148 reassessment is priced by complexity. We confirm a fixed fee before we start.

Can you handle scrutiny (143(2)) and reassessment (148/148A) cases?

Yes — including the 148A objection stage, the scrutiny submission, and, if needed, the appeal before CIT(A) and ITAT.

Will a chartered accountant actually handle it, or software?

A chartered accountant drafts and reviews every reply. Notices are closed by the right reconciliations and a properly reasoned submission, which is what we prepare.
