Section 133(6) Notice — Information Call Handled.
A Section 133(6) notice is an information-gathering tool. We review what is being asked, compile the correct response, and submit it accurately and within deadline.
Contact UsSection 133(6) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 empowers the Assessing Officer — and certain other income tax authorities — to call for information from any person, including banks, companies, and taxpayers themselves. It is one of the widest information-gathering provisions in the Act and is routinely used during assessments, surveys, and verification exercises.
A notice under Section 133(6) may arrive independently of any ongoing assessment. It could be issued to verify a specific transaction in your bank account, confirm a business dealing, or cross-check information received from a counterparty. Non-compliance — providing incomplete, inaccurate, or no information — can expose the recipient to penalties and invite further scrutiny.
Responding to a Section 133(6) notice requires a careful review of what is being asked, what documents and information are available, and how they should be presented. The response must be accurate, complete, and confined to what is actually asked — over-disclosure can raise unnecessary questions.
