I received a Section 148 notice for reassessment — what should I do?
Do not ignore it. File a reply within the time specified objecting to the reopening if the income has not escaped assessment. The normal reassessment limit is 3 years; extended limit is 10 years only if escaped income exceeds ₹50 lakh. RDA Advisory checks the limitation and legality before advising on the appropriate response.
My GST demand is for ₹30 lakh — is it worth fighting?
Absolutely. GST demands are frequently raised on technicalities — ITC mismatches, classification disputes, or GSTR-1/3B differences — where the underlying liability may be significantly lower or nil. Filing a well-drafted SCN reply at Section 73/74 stage often results in demand reduction or full withdrawal. The success rate at first appeal (Section 107) and GSTAT remains strong for genuine cases.
Can I get a stay of income tax demand while my appeal is pending?
Yes. You can apply for a stay of demand under Section 220(6) of IT Act 1961 before the Assessing Officer. For ITAT appeals, a stay petition can be filed before the Tribunal. Typically 20% of the disputed demand must be deposited as a condition for stay, but that figure is not a fixed rule: in PCIT v. LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. (Civil Appeal No. 6850 of 2018, 20 July 2018) the Supreme Court clarified that the authorities may, on the facts of an individual case, order a deposit of less than 20% pending appeal. RDA Advisory prepares the stay application and represents you at the stay hearing.
