TAX DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Income Tax Appeal Services in Dwarka, New Delhi

An income tax appeal is a legal remedy available to a taxpayer who is aggrieved by an order passed by the Income Tax Department. This may include an incorrect tax demand, disallowance of expenses, addition of income, or a penalty levy.

At Vivek Tiwari & Company (Tiwariv), based in Dwarka Sector 23B, New Delhi, we assist taxpayers in understanding their rights and filing appeals confidently, ensuring a structured, lawful, and timely approach.

When a notice or assessment order is received, panic is familiar. However, in many cases, the issue arises from data mismatches, insufficient explanations, or procedural errors. A well-prepared appeal can effectively resolve the matter.

LEGAL REMEDY

What Is an Appeal Under the Income Tax Act

An appeal under the Income-tax Act, 1961, is a formal request made by a taxpayer to a higher authority to review an order passed by an Assessing Officer.

The first level of appeal is usually filed before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) [CIT(A)].

An appeal is not about avoiding tax.

It is about ensuring that the law is applied correctly and facts are adequately considered.

Practical Importance of Filing an Income Tax Appeal

From real cases handled at our Dwarka office, appeals are commonly required due to:

Additions made without a proper opportunity of hearing

Disallowance of genuine expenses

Mismatch between Form 26AS, AIS, and return data

Incorrect application of tax rates or sections

Penalty orders passed mechanically

Ignoring an incorrect order can lead to recovery proceedings, bank attachment, and long-term litigation. Filing an appeal within time protects your legal position and gives you control over the process.

Applicable Laws & Compliance Framework

Income tax appeals are governed by the Income-tax Act, 1961, mainly:

Section 246A

Appealable orders

Section 249

Time limit and form of appeal

Section 250

Procedure before CIT(A)

Rule 45

Income Tax Appeal Time Limit

30 Days Deadline
