Why Notice Mitra

Every year, the Income Tax Department issues lakhs of notices to Indian taxpayers — most of them routine intimations under Section 143(1), some asking for clarifications under Section 142(1), and a few demanding scrutiny under Section 143(2), reassessment under Section 148, or penalty under Section 270A or the Section 271 series. For a salaried professional or a small business owner, the moment that PDF arrives in the inbox is genuinely stressful. The language is dense. The deadlines are short.

Notice Mitra is a technology platform that helps with three specific things: (a) reading the notice in plain English and flagging the risk level, (b) listing the documents you will need to assemble a proper reply, and (c) preparing a draft reply you can either use as-is on the Self-Serve plan or have reviewed by an independent practising Chartered Accountant on the CA-Vetted plan.

On the CA-Vetted plan, the assigned Chartered Accountant reviews and signs off your reply in their individual capacity — usually within 48 working hours, subject to case complexity. The fee is fixed and quoted to you before any payment is taken.

Notice Mitra does not replace the role of a Chartered Accountant. It exists to make it easier for taxpayers to connect with one when an income tax notice arrives.

Notice Mitra is currently operated as a sole proprietorship by Priya Agarwal (ICAI Membership No. 457330), based in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Incorporation as a private limited company is in progress.

What we stand for

Four commitments that we will not compromise on, even as we grow.

ICAI-compliant by design

Every final reply on the CA-Vetted plan is reviewed and signed off by a practising Chartered Accountant, with the ICAI membership number disclosed. We comply with the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949 and the Code of Ethics issued by ICAI.

Privacy first

Your notice and supporting documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, accessible only to the assigned CA. AI analysis may be performed outside India; see the Privacy Policy for the full processor list. We comply with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Fees by notice type

Flat fees published by notice type — no hourly billing, no surprise add-ons. The exact amount payable is shown before you pay, with a payment receipt afterwards.

Updated for both Acts

Our framework is maintained for both the Income Tax Act, 1961 and the Income Tax Act, 2025, including the revised section numbering and procedural changes.

Our empanelled Chartered Accountants

Replies on the CA-Vetted plan are reviewed and signed off by empanelled practising Chartered Accountants in their individual capacity. The assigned CA's name and ICAI membership number are disclosed in your dashboard.
