Our Section 148 Notice Process

1. Validity & jurisdiction check — 3–5 days
   Critical — was Section 148A(b) order issued? Was approval under 151 obtained? Is time-bar (3/10 years) crossed? Strong grounds to quash exist.
2. Reply to Section 148A(b) (if pre-148 stage) — 7–14 days
   If you received 148A(b) show-cause first, we strongly oppose the proposed action.
3. Writ petition consideration — Case-dependent
   If 148 issued without jurisdictional validity, we file writ in High Court to quash.
4. Filing return in response to 148 — 30 days
   If 148 stands, we file revised return with proper disclosures.
5. Full reassessment defence — 3–9 months
   Same intensity as 143(2) scrutiny — multiple hearings, detailed evidence.
6. Final reassessment order & appeal — Post-order
   CIT(A) appeal if adverse, with strong jurisdictional grounds preserved.
