As around Rs 4 lakh crore are locked up in litigations, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has set up a six-member committee to suggest ways to reduce mounting disputes at various tax appellate forums. The committee, comprising senior Indian Revenue Service officials, will appraise the efficacy of existing dispute resolution forums of Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and the Income-Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT).
The Panel has also been asked by CBDT to give its recommendations for different income groups and separately for corporate and non-corporate assessees. The panel will have to analyse assessment orders separately by categorising income groups up to Rs 25 lakh, Rs 25 lakh - Rs 1 crore, Rs 1 crore - Rs 10 crore and Rs 10 crore and above.
Besides the committee to examine the assessment orders, appellate orders and scrutiny report for appeal to the ITAT. Furthermore, the committee will conduct analysis of assessment orders, orders of CIT (A) and success rate of appeals filed by the department/assessee before the ITAT. The panel will have to submit its report within eight weeks. The latest initiative of the CBDT is also in line with the intent of the government to reduce tax litigation and bring certainty in the tax environment.
