# Notice analysis and reply
Needs Python 3 and internet: runs `scripts/fortax.py` (the Fortax engine on ai.fortax.in; your file is processed and not stored).
You draft; the CA reviews, signs and files on the portal. You never submit a reply, pay under protest or send
anything to the department or the client.
## Step 1 — read the notice completely
Extract into a header block:
- issuing authority and its address / jurisdiction;
- DIN or reference number (an income tax communication without a DIN needs flagging to the CA);
- section and form (143(1), 139(9), 142(1), 143(2), 148A(b), 148; GST ASMT-10, DRC-01A, DRC-01, and so on);
- date of issue and date of service;
- **response due date**;
- period covered (AY for income tax, tax period / FY for GST);
- amount demanded, with tax, interest, penalty and fee separately;
- each specific discrepancy alleged, numbered as in the notice;
- mode of reply (portal tab, email, physical) and hearing date if any.
Compute days left to the due date and put it at the top. If the due date has passed, say so and outline the
options — adjournment request, condonation, or responding with a request to take the reply on record —
checking which the section allows. For income tax adjustments from CPC processing (143(1)), the line-by-line
comparison and the rectification route are in the `fortax-itr-rectification-and-refund` skill.
## Step 2 — build the reply
1. **Facts table**: each allegation -> our position -> evidence file in the client folde
