About this service

A Section 148 notice reopens a past assessment year on the basis that income escaped assessment. These are high-stakes, deadline-driven matters where the reply to the 148A(b) show-cause and the challenge to jurisdiction, limitation and sanction can decide the outcome. We handle the entire defence — from show-cause to writ or appeal.

Frequently asked questions

I received a 148A(b) notice with a 7-day deadline — can you help?

Yes, urgently. The 148A(b) reply is the most important step; share the notice immediately and we begin the case review the same day.

Can a Section 148 notice be quashed?

Often, yes — on limitation, absence of fresh material (change of opinion), defective sanction under Section 151, or breach of the 148A procedure.

What does it cost?

Reassessment defence is priced by complexity and stakes; engagements typically begin at ₹50,000. You get a firm quote after a confidential case review.

Do you handle NRI and foreign-asset reopenings?

Yes, including Schedule FA and Black Money Act matters, which need particular care.
