The Income Tax Department will give you an intimation under section 143 (1) of the Income Tax Act once your ITR documentation has been processed, letting you know if you owe any additional tax or if you are due for a refund.
However, understanding the intimation sent under section 143 (1) isn't always straightforward.
It is critical that a person read and understand this notice of income tax. This is because this letter informs you whether the income tax calculation you provided in your ITR matches the information held by the tax department.
The tax department examines for any errors, internal inconsistencies, tax and interest calculation, and confirms tax payment made, among other things, when processing ITRs. The tax agency provides the notification under section 143 once the ITR is processed. Keep in mind, however, that the tax department does a preliminary check while processing ITRs. They can still issue you an income tax notice in the future, asking for more information under a different provision.
The Section 143(1) intimation is password-protected. To open the file on your device enter your PAN in lowercase, followed by your date of birth in DDMMYYYY format. For example, if your PAN is ABCDE4321F and your birth date is 02/02/2000, the password to unlock the notification will be "abcde4321f02022000."
