Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is an income tax appeal?

An income tax appeal is a legal remedy available when a taxpayer disagrees with an order passed by the Assessing Officer, such as an assessment order, tax demand, or penalty order. The first level of appeal is typically filed before the CIT(A) using Form 35 via the Income Tax e-Filing portal. The objective is to seek correction, reduction, or deletion of incorrect additions or penalties.

2. When should I file an appeal instead of rectification or revision?

An appeal is appropriate when the issue is not merely clerical or factual. Appeals are generally required when:

  • Income has been wrongly added

  • Deductions or exemptions are denied

  • Penalties are imposed incorrectly

  • Legal interpretation is involved

  • Rectification time limits have expired

A consultation helps determine the correct remedy.

3. What is the time limit for filing an income tax appeal?

An appeal before CIT(A) must generally be filed within 30 days from the date of service of the assessment order or demand notice. Delays may weaken your case and require additional justification.

4. Can an appeal be filed after 30 days?

Yes. Delayed appeals may be accepted if there is a reasonable cause (such as late receipt of the order, medical reasons, or genuine hardship). Acceptance depends on the discretion of the appellate authority.

5. What is Form 35 and why is it important?

Form 35 is the prescribed online form for filing an appeal before CIT(A). It includes:

  • Grounds of appeal

  • Statement of facts

  • Supporting documents

  • Proof of appeal fee payment

Errors or omissions in Form 35 can lead to rejection or delays, making expert assistance crucial.

6. What is the appeal filing fee for CIT(A)?

The statutory fee depends on assessed total income:

  • Up to ₹1 lakh – ₹250

  • ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakh – ₹500

  • Above ₹2 lakh – ₹1,000

  • Other matters – ₹250

The fee must be paid before submitting Form 35.

7. Is personal appearance required for appeal hearings?

In most cases, proceedings are conducted online through written submissions. Physical appearance is rarely required. If a hearing is scheduled, full guidance and preparation support is provided.

8. What happens after the appeal is filed?

After filing:

  • Submissions and documents are reviewed

  • Additional information may be requested

  • Hearings may be scheduled, if necessary

  • A written appellate order is issued

The order may confirm, reduce, or delete the additions or penalties.

9. What if I am not satisfied with the CIT(A) order?

Further remedies, such as filing an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), may be explored depending on the merits and timelines.

10. Is income tax appeal filing done online?

Yes. The entire process—including fee payment, document upload, and submission—is completed online through the Income Tax e-Filing portal.

11. What types of cases are commonly handled in income tax appeals?

Common cases include:

  • Unexplained cash deposits

  • Incorrect capital gains computation

  • Disallowance of expenses

  • Denial of deductions

  • Penalty orders

  • Assessments completed without proper opportunity of being heard

12. Why should I take expert support for income tax appeal filing?

  • Strong and legally sound grounds of appeal
