Appeal at ITAT the final fact-finding forum.
Specialist appeal services before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal — from drafting Form 36 and grounds of appeal to compiling paper books and arguing the matter on the merits. Where facts and law both matter, preparation wins.
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal is the highest fact-finding authority in tax matters. Once the ITAT decides a question of fact, it generally stands — only questions of law travel further to the High Court. That makes the ITAT the most critical forum in a tax dispute, and the place where preparation matters most.
Appeals reach the ITAT after the CIT(A) has decided. The taxpayer or the department can file an appeal within 60 days of receipt of the CIT(A) order. The Tribunal admits the appeal on payment of statutory fees, examines the grounds, the paper book, and the rival submissions before deciding.
Our ITAT practice covers the full lifecycle — reviewing the order under challenge, identifying winnable grounds, drafting Form 36 with concise and pointed grounds of appeal, compiling a structured paper book, filing written submissions, and arguing the matter before the Bench. We also handle cross-objections, stay applications, and miscellaneous applications.
