Respected Sir,Sub: Envisaging a robust mechanism for Real-Time Status Updates of filed appeals for Departmental Officers and filing of appeals- reg. The Hon’ble Court further cautioned that any appeal filed beyond the prescribed limitation without proper justification would henceforth attract a penal cost of Rs. We respectfully endorse the Hon’ble Court’s observation that the time has come for the Income Tax Department to put its house in order. As a result, JAO charges continue to be assigned a wide range of tasks with unrealistic timelines, leaving little scope for effective housekeeping. The Hon’ble Courts, understandably, may not be apprised of such internal administrative constraints while issuing directions.
