Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
The response is filed only online in the e-Proceedings section of the e-Filing portal. Each variance found by CPC needs its own Agree or Disagree answer. After you submit, the portal shows a transaction ID and sends a confirmation email.
Provisions and law
- Sec 143(1)(a) (now Sec 270(2))CPC can adjust the return for listed reasons, but must first tell you and consider a reply given within 30 days
Analysis
The portal user manual sets out the flow: Pending Actions, e-Proceedings, Self, then View Notice against the prima facie adjustment entry and Submit Response. You open each variance, click Provide Response, choose Agree or Disagree and save. Where you disagree you pick a reason and explain it, so keep the explanation short and factual, for example 'interest already shown under Income from Other Sources'. When all lines are answered, tick the declaration and submit, then use View Response to keep a copy.
Conclusion
- Log in and go to Pending Actions, e-Proceedings, Self.
- Click View Notice, then Submit Response.
- Answer every variance with Agree or Disagree and save each one.
- Tick the declaration, submit and note the transaction ID.
- Download the response for your records.
