Tax Advisory & Litigation

What is Tax Litigation & Appeals?

Tax litigation is the process of replying to an Income Tax notice, defending a scrutiny or reassessment, and appealing an order you disagree with. GBA drafts the replies and appeals, compiles the paper book and appears for the client at each stage.

What to bring

The notice or order, with the date it was received
The return and computation for the year in question
Bank statements, ledgers and any documents the notice asks for

Tell us the problem

Call, WhatsApp or use the enquiry form. A partner calls back to understand the issue and the deadline, if there is one.

Share the documents

You get a short checklist of what to send. Scans over WhatsApp or email are fine; originals only when a filing needs them.

Get a written plan and fee

Before any work starts you receive what will be done, by when, and the professional fee. No percentage-based or surprise charges.

We file, represent and follow through

Returns are e-verified, notices are replied to, appeals are argued. You are told when each step is complete and what comes next.

Questions about this service

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.
