Key Facts — Section 144 Best Judgement Assessment in Ayodhya

An income tax notice has two things that make it genuinely stressful: legal language you may not be familiar with, and a deadline that doesn't wait. In Ayodhya, most notices from the Income Tax Department give you 15 to 30 days to respond — and missing that deadline has automatic consequences: demand creation, interest accumulation under Sections 234A/234B/234C, and in serious cases, ex-parte best-judgement assessment where the Department decides your tax liability without your input. easevalue advisors, led by CA Rajat (ICAI Registered), has spent 15 years helping taxpayers in Ayodhya and across India navigate exactly this situation. Our process is straightforward: you share the notice, we review it within 24 hours at no charge, we give you a clear scope and fee in writing, and then we handle everything — drafting, filing, follow-up, and representation — so you don't have to deal with the Income Tax Department directly. The Lucknow ITAT bench and Allahabad High Court are the appeal forums for Ayodhya matters, and our team engages with these regularly. For your specific notice, the right response depends entirely on which section it was issued under and what data trigger the Department is responding to — and that is exactly what our free initial review determines.

About Section 144 Best Judgement Assessment in Ayodhya

Why Ayodhya Receives These Notices

There are several reasons why Ayodhya taxpayers tend to receive more income tax notices than the national average. First, Ayodhya's economic profile — Renamed from Faizabad to Ayodhya — Ram Mandir religious tourism boom, agriculture, education — means the resident taxpayer base includes a high proportion of business owners, professionals, and high-income earners who file complex returns and conduct high-value transactions. Second, the key industries in Ayodhya — Religious Tourism (Ram Mandir), Agriculture, Education, Real Estate — each have specific tax-compliance challenges: businesses face notices on transfer pricing, inventory valuation, expense disallowance, and turnover-based scrutiny. Third, Ayodhya has a strong base of investment-active taxpayers — share market participants, F&O traders, crypto holders, and real estate investors — whose transaction data feeds directly into the Income Tax Department's AIS database. Any mismatch with the filed ITR becomes a potential notice trigger. Fourth, the CIT Lucknow office processes a high volume of cases, meaning a higher absolute number of scrutiny selections. MASSIVE post-Ram Mandir property boom triggers SFT notices. Tourism cash transaction scrutiny. Trust/religious property tax matters. Our team has handled hundreds of Ayodhya cases, and this local knowledge translates into better-targeted, more efficient replies.
