Income Tax Appeal & Litigation FAQs

Common questions about income tax appeal & litigation

What is the difference between CIT(A) and ITAT?

CIT(A) is the first appellate authority — your first level of appeal against an assessment order. ITAT (Income Tax Appellate Tribunal) is the second level, where you appeal against CIT(A) orders.

Can I get the demand stayed during appeal?

Yes. You can apply for stay of demand before both CIT(A) and ITAT. Usually, 20% of the disputed demand needs to be paid to get a stay.

Do I need a CA for IT appeals?

While individuals can represent themselves before CIT(A), having a CA significantly improves your chances. Before ITAT, only CAs, advocates, or authorised representatives can appear.
