Income Tax Lawyer in Siliguri
An income tax notice usually arrives as an email and an SMS, and the first reaction is often panic about the date. The date matters, but most notices give enough time for a proper reply if you start now. As an income tax lawyer in Siliguri, our chamber on Hill Cart Road, opposite Meghdoot Cinema Hall, reads the notice, tells you which section it is under and what it asks, and files the reply on the portal with the right proof.
Almost everything in income tax is now handled online. Notices sit under the e-proceedings tab on incometax.gov.in, scrutiny and reassessment are run by the National Faceless Assessment Centre, and first appeals go to the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) through the National Faceless Appeal Centre. Second appeals from Siliguri are heard by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Kolkata bench, and questions of law go to the Calcutta High Court. You rarely need to travel, but the written record decides the case.
A word on the law. The Income-tax Act 1961 applies to income earned up to 31 March 2026, which covers every notice and appeal for past years. The new Income-tax Act 2025 applies from 1 April 2026 and renumbers most sections. Our pages cite the 1961 sections because those are the ones on the notices people bring us today; where a new number applies, we will tell you. Section numbers, limits and deadlines on these pages are checked by the reviewing advocate and should be confirmed against your own notice.
The pages below are grouped by where you are: answering a notice or an assessment, appealing an order or a penalty, or planning ahead. Our fee for income tax work starts at Rupees 1000; government fees, such as appeal fees, are extra and set by law. Every page is reviewed by Adv. Abhishek Agarwal. The chamber's advocates are Ramesh Kumar Agarwal, Abhishek Agarwal and Khushboo Agarwal Goyal, practising in Siliguri since 1982.
