Study the order
We read the assessment order and the full record to identify every addition that can be challenged.
Appeals, written submissions and representation before the CIT(A), the National Faceless Appeal Centre and the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Hyderabad Bench.
Tax litigation is a core practice at ASKN & Co. LLP. When an assessment order makes additions you disagree with, we prepare the appeal, frame the grounds, and draft detailed written submissions supported by evidence and judicial precedent — the work that actually decides the outcome at the appellate stage.
We represent clients before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and the Joint Commissioner (Appeals), including faceless appeals through NFAC, and before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. Where a matter needs to go to the High Court, we work alongside senior counsel on the record and the arguments.
OUR APPROACH
We read the assessment order and the full record to identify every addition that can be challenged.
Grounds of appeal and statement of facts are drafted and filed within the limitation period.
Where needed, we apply for a stay of the disputed demand while the appeal is heard.
Detailed written submissions, evidence and precedent, followed by hearings until the order is passed.
FAQ
An appeal before the CIT(A) generally has to be filed within 30 days of receiving the assessment or penalty order. Appeals filed late need a condonation request explaining the delay, so it is best to contact us as soon as the order arrives.
An appeal to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal is generally filed within 60 days of receiving the CIT(A) order. The department can also appeal, in which case you can file cross-objections.
Yes, a stay can be requested. Under CBDT guidelines the Assessing Officer generally expects a part of the disputed demand — commonly 20% — to be paid, although a lower amount can be sought where the case merits it.
