Assessment & Penalty Disputes arise when individuals, professionals, startups, or businesses face adverse actions from Income Tax, GST, or other regulatory authorities. These disputes commonly involve alleged underreporting of income, incorrect tax calculations, non-compliance claims, procedural lapses, or imposition of penalties and interest.
