Section 139(9) speaks about defective or incomplete return. But you have not mentioned the issue involved for the issuance of such a notice. The defect/incompleteness may be cured and a reply may be filed before the Assessing Officer with in the time allowed but not later than 15 days from the date of such intimation. If the assessee fails to do so the return filed shall be treated as an invalid return. The issue may be dealt with care fully and request to seek help from your counsel.
