The pending cases choked Rs 6.11 lakh crore revenue to tax department
Faced with "mounting" litigation that has "choked" the revenue stream, the CBDT has formulated an action plan to dispose of about 3 lakh cases, bearing Rs 6.11 lakh crore revenue, that are pending before its appeals commissioners across the country.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), that frames policies for the Income Tax Department, has now directed the I-T appeals commissioners to dispose of 500 cases per annum and priortise them where either the demand is less than Rs 10 lakh or over Rs 50 crore.
The Board has expressed serious concerns over the "rising" cases of litigation in the department, which it said has "assumed grave proportions".
It added that "mounting litigation" has choked the revenue stream and is leading to wastage of scarce resources.
According to official data, as of April 1, a total of 2,90,227 cases are pending before the department's first appellate authority--Commissioner of Income Tax filing(CIT)(appeals) --involving an amount of Rs 6.11 lakh crore.
Out of this, demands amounting to Rs 1.18 lakh crore have been stayed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) or other courts.
The IT Return Department has a multi-tier appellate mechanism for a taxpayer, who has been issued a tax demand notice, can go in for appeal........read more
