Commissioners of Income-Tax
(Appeals) were directed to bifurcate the appeals pending with them into four
categories. High demand appeals brought
forward as on the first day of the financial year involving disputed demand of
Rs. 10 lakhs and above, have been identified as the first category for priority
disposal.
This has resulted in speedier
disposal of high demand appeals, thereby unlocking the amounts disputed in such
appeals facilitating early realization of the amount involved therein.
Figures of disposal of high demand
appeals for the past two years are as follows:
