Responding to FBR Notices (111, 122, 177, 214C)

Strategic, legally authoritative written responses to FBR show-cause notices, audit selections, unexplained asset inquiries, and best-judgment assessments.

Common Issues We Help With:

▸ Section 111 (Unexplained income, bank credits, or assets)▸ Section 122 (Amendment of assessment & discrepancy notices)▸ Section 177 & 214C (Audit selection notices by Commissioner/Board)▸ Section 140 (Coercive bank recovery notice)▸ Section 114(4) / 182 (Non-filing penalty notices)

Core Legal Questions & Court Remedies

Do not ignore it. Section 111 allows FBR to add unexplained amounts directly to taxable income at maximum rates. We provide a documented money trail (remittances, asset sales, loans, agricultural income) to have the notice dropped.

We review the specific audit parameters, prepare legally compliant reconciliation files, represent you before the Assessing Officer, and challenge ultra-vires audit notices before the High Court.

We file emergency petitions before the Commissioner Appeals or High Court for an immediate restraining stay order while challenging the underlying assessment.

We Also Assist With:

✓Drafting point-by-point formal legal replies with documentary annexures
✓Personal representation before Deputy Commissioners and Chief Commissioners
✓Filing stay applications against coercive tax recovery
✓High Court Writ Petitions challenging illegal assumption of jurisdiction
✓Compounding and penalty mitigation under Income Tax & Sales Tax Acts
