In such a situation, many rules have been made by the department regarding filling of ITR. If you violate these rules or make some mistakes in filling ITR, then a notice is issued by the Income Tax Department. One such notice is Letter of Intimation, which is sent under section 143(1) of Income tax notice. Let us know when and why this notice comes.

What is letter of intimation?

Letter of Intimation is a kind of notice which tells whether the tax paid by you is correct or not. While filing income tax return, if you have made any mistake in filling the interest information, or if any other minor mistake has been made, then you may get such a notice. This notice tells that whatever mistakes you have made while filing income tax return, correct them.
