Subject: Initiatives for reducing
\nlitigation- regarding.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Central Board of
\nDirect Taxes has issued a Circular revising the monetary limits for filing of
\nappeals by the Department with the objective of reducing litigation as a part
\nof its initiatives to reduce grievances of the taxpayers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The monetary limits for
\nfiling of appeals by the Department before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal
\nand the High Courts have been revised to tax effect of Rs. 10 Lakhs and Rs. 20
\nLakhs, respectively, from the present limits of tax effect of Rs. 4 Lakhs and
\nRs. 10 Lakhs. The revised limits have been made applicable retrospectively to
\npending appeals also. Directions have been issued that pending appeals which
\nare below the revised monetary limits may be withdrawn or not pressed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In
\nanother noteworthy decision, the CBDT has issued an Office Memorandum directing
\nPrincipal Chief Commissioners to constitute a collegium of Chief Commissioners
\nof Income Tax comprising of two officers in their respective Regions. This
\ncollegium will consider withdrawal of appeals filed by the Department in cases
\ninvolving tax effect above the revised monetary limit from the High Courts if
\nno question of law is involved, the issue is considered settled by the
\nDepartment or the appeal is no longer relevant in view of subsequent amendment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These
\ntwo decisions are expected to reduce pending litigation filed by the Department
\nby 50 percent and provide relief to taxpayers facing long standing litigation.<\/p>\n
