12 December 2024 An assessee received notice u/s 139(9) for the asst year 24-25 through income tax portal. 14 days time was given to reply. But the assessee has not responded as the notice was not read by him. Now what is the remedy as in many cases assessees are unaware of such notices. Can the experts throw light on this issue as reply cannot be submitted after 14 days time given.

24 January 2025 Sir, we filed a belated return. but the same was also not accepted and another 139(9) notice issued. But the assessee did not get a physical copy and failed to watch the mail also. so he could not reply . Reply to 139(9) could not be filed in time. Now the return is invalid.
Kindly give your expert opinion to the next step to be followed.
