A tax health check is exactly what it sounds like — a systematic examination of your tax position, past filings, and current compliance status to identify problems before they become penalties. The Income Tax Department's data infrastructure has expanded significantly. The Annual Information Statement now captures transactions from banks, registrars, brokers, mutual funds, GST portals, and dozens of other sources. The gap between what taxpayers have reported and what the department already knows is the single largest driver of notices and scrutiny today.

The issues a tax health check typically uncovers are more varied than most taxpayers expect — wrong ITR form used in a prior year, capital gains not reported, ESOP perquisites missed, foreign account details omitted, HRA exemption overclaimed, TDS not credited correctly, advance tax not paid for professional income, or revised return not filed after Form 16 revisions. Each of these is a live risk that grows over time.

NDS Advisors conducts tax health checks for individuals, business owners, NRIs, and companies across Mumbai. We review your returns, reconcile the AIS, identify gaps, quantify risks, and deliver a clear written report with prioritised action points — whether that means filing revised returns, responding to notices, paying pending dues, or confirming your house is in order.

A tax health check is a comprehensive review of your past income tax filings, current year tax position, AIS and Form 26AS data, TDS credits, pending demands, notices, and compliance gaps — identifying issues before the tax department does.
Anyone who has filed returns without professional help, changed jobs, received large bonuses or ESOPs, sold property or investments, received foreign income, has unresolved notices, or has not reviewed their AIS recently should consider a tax health check.
A tax health check covers review of past 3-6 years of ITRs, AIS and 26AS analysis, TDS reconciliation, identification of unfiled or defective returns, pending demands, advance tax shortfalls, missed deductions, and incorrect form selection.
Yes. Revised returns under Section 139(5) can be filed within the same assessment year. For earlier years, rectification under Section 154 covers apparent mistakes. Other corrections may require responding to notices or filing appeals.
