Guide
Income Tax Appeal: what you should know
The appeal ladder
If you disagree with an assessment order, the first appeal usually goes to the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals), or the Faceless Appeal system. A further appeal lies to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, and then on questions of law to the High Court. Each level has strict time limits.
What to prepare
A strong appeal states the facts, the grounds of disagreement and the law. We review the order, the notice trail and your records, draft the grounds, and represent you in hearings. Pay or seek stay for part of the demand as the rules require.
Why time matters
The usual period to file the first appeal is 30 days from the date the order is served. Delay needs a condonation request with reasons, which is not guaranteed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Waiting past the 30-day limit
- Weak grounds of appeal
- Not responding to earlier notices, which hurts the appeal record
