Questions

Questions about this service

Direct answers about tax litigation & appeals from GBA, Guwahati.

How much time do I have to appeal an Income Tax order?

An appeal to CIT(Appeals) is due within 30 days of receiving the order. An appeal to the ITAT is due within 60 days of the CIT(Appeals) order. Delays can be condoned only for sufficient cause, so contact the firm as soon as an order arrives.

Do I have to pay the demand before appealing?

Not the full amount. A stay application is normally filed with the appeal; the department generally requires 20 percent of the disputed demand to be paid for a stay, though this can be argued down in genuine cases.
