My return has been marked defective under section 139(9) for a mismatch in gross receipts. How do I fix it within 15 days?
In short
The defect is the form, not the figures: ITR-1 cannot carry professional receipts, and the system saw 194J credits with no matching income head.

Got a show-cause notice under section 148A for AY 2021-22 about cash deposits. Is it still within time, and how should I respond?

Received a GST ASMT-10 scrutiny notice for FY 2023-24 on a GSTR-3B versus GSTR-1 mismatch. How should we reply?
In short
ASMT-10 is a scrutiny under section 61, not a demand. A clear, document-backed reply in Form ASMT-11 within the 30 days usually closes it.
