Analysis
The CBIC guidelines expect taxpayers' evidence to be reviewed, and High Courts have required timely post-decisional hearings and speaking orders. Each month of delay costs you cash. Send polite, dated reminders, escalate to the Additional or Joint Commissioner, and keep a file. Example: representation on 1 July, reminders on 25 July and 20 August, escalation in September.
