The Income Tax Department may issue notices to taxpayers for various reasons such as mismatch in income details, incorrect tax calculations, non-filing of returns, or verification of financial transactions.

Receiving a notice does not necessarily mean a penalty, but it requires a timely and accurate response. Ignoring or incorrectly responding to a notice may lead to penalties, additional tax demands, or legal proceedings.
