Questions people ask
Is the notice explainer really free?
Yes. You get 3 free explanations a month after a quick mobile check. A professional reply is optional and priced up front.
Which notices can it explain?
Income tax (including TDS, CPC and faceless assessment), GST, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (ROC), EPFO and ESIC notices and orders, as a PDF of up to 6 pages.
Is my notice safe?
The PDF is read once to write your explanation and is deleted within 24 hours. It isn't shared or used for anything else, and your PAN or GSTIN is never repeated in the answer.
Can I trust the deadline it shows?
The explainer copies the deadline exactly as printed and tells you the page it is on, so you can check it. The date printed on your notice always wins. It is an AI explanation for information, not legal or tax advice.
Can I upload a photo of the notice?
Not yet. Please upload a PDF: most notices arrive by email or on the tax portal as a PDF, and a scanned PDF works too.
