Facts
Rectification orders are appealable before the Commissioner (Appeals). The 30 days run from service of the rectification order.
Provisions and law
- Sec 246A, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 357)Lists orders you can appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals), including intimations with adjustments, assessments, rectification and penalty orders.
- Sec 154, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 287)Rectification of mistakes apparent from the record.
Analysis
Appeal is useful when CPC or the officer refused to correct an obvious error, such as ignoring a TDS credit that 26AS shows. Attach the original order, the rectification request and the rejection. If a fresh request with the right type would fix it faster, consider that first.
Conclusion
- Read the rejection reason.
- Decide if a fresh request fixes it.
- If not, draft grounds against the rectification order.
- File Form 35 within 30 days.
- Attach all related documents.
