New Delhi, Dec 31 (KNN) With an endeavour to digitise various functions of the Department for providing efficient taxpayer services, electronic filing of appeal before CIT (Appeals) is being made mandatory for persons who are required to file the return of income electronically.
Electronic filing of appeal along with the documents relied upon before CIT (Appeals) will remove human interface, reduce paperwork and decrease the transaction cost for the taxpayer, said Ministry of Finance.
It would ensure consistent and error free service as validations will be inbuilt resulting in fewer deficient appeals. Online filing will also facilitate fixation of hearing of appeals electronically, the release added.
The existing Form 35 for filing of first appeal is being substituted by a new Form. The new format for filing of appeals is more structured, objective, systematic, and aligned with the current provisions of the Income-tax Act.
With these changes, the burden of compliance on the taxpayers in appellate proceedings will be significantly reduced. (With PIB Inputs)
