Shahi & Co. — Our Understanding
This section falls under Chapter XVI which governs appeals and revision — your right to challenge an assessment order before the Commissioner (Appeals), ITAT, High Court, and Supreme Court.
Practical Note: If you receive an adverse assessment order, the appeal must be filed within the prescribed time limit. Delay in filing appeals is a common compliance failure that results in forfeiture of the right to appeal.
