Enquiry or pre-notice stage
The department seeks information or proposes further proceedings.
Assessing or faceless authority, depending on the route.
Verify authenticity, applicable tax period, allegation and response window.
Filed return, AIS/TIS, Form 26AS, books, bank record and communication history.
Closure, formal notice, reassessment or another statutory proceeding.
From urgent triage to a defensible record.
Litigation work is sequenced around limitation, evidence and the authority—not a generic incorporation checklist.
- 01
Order and limitation review
Identify the governing law, service date, appealability, disputed amount and parallel recovery exposure.
- 02
Merits and record audit
Test each addition or ground against submissions, evidence, computation and the record already before the authority.
- 03
Remedy and stay strategy
Compare rectification, revision, appeal, stay and exceptional writ routes without allowing one deadline to obscure another.
- 04
Appeal and paper book
Prepare facts, grounds, applications, evidence index and hearing brief for the chosen forum.
- 05
Representation and order review
Coordinate hearings, preserve submissions and assess the next remedy when the order is received.
Build the file before the argument.
A complete indexed record reduces avoidable gaps. We issue a stage-specific checklist after the initial review.
