Provisions

Sec 253, Income-tax Act 1961

Analysis

The Tribunal is the final fact-finding authority, so present all facts and documents carefully. Fees depend on assessed income. If the CIT(A) order partly favours you, the department may also appeal. Pending Tribunal appeals for old years continue under the 1961 Act.
