Appeal at ITAT — Income Tax Appellate Tribunal
Taking your case to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal when the CIT(A)/JCIT(A) order still leaves tax, interest or penalty in dispute.
If the order of the CIT(A) or JCIT(A) is unfavourable, a second appeal lies before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), the final fact-finding authority in the tax litigation hierarchy, in Form 36, generally within 60 days of receiving the order. The Department can also appeal a CIT(A) order that goes against it. We draft the memorandum of appeal, compile the paper book, and represent your case before the Bench.
What an ITAT appeal involves
ITAT is a quasi-judicial body and the last forum where facts of the case can be re-argued — appeals beyond this go only on substantial questions of law.
- Appeal against an adverse order of the CIT(A)/JCIT(A)
- Cross-objections where the Department has appealed
- Stay petitions before the Tribunal
- Rectification applications for mistakes apparent from the Tribunal's own order
- Miscellaneous applications and recall petitions
- Representation across ITAT benches nationally

Why ITAT appeals need specialist handling
What sets our approach apart.
ITAT is the final authority on facts
Beyond this stage, courts only examine substantial questions of law — facts are settled here.
Filing fees are tiered by income
Fee calculation under section 253(6) depends on the assessed income and needs to be got right.
The paper book often decides the case
A well-organised, complete paper book makes it far easier for the Bench to rule in your favour.
