About this service.

Applicability

Any taxpayer in receipt of an income-tax notice, assessment order or appellate matter under the Income-tax Act, 1961.

Tax litigation covers representation before the income-tax authorities — from scrutiny assessment through the appellate hierarchy. The objective is to present the client's position clearly, on a sound factual and legal footing.

Litigation engagements include drafting submissions, representation before assessing officers, the Commissioner (Appeals), the Dispute Resolution Panel and the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, and counsel briefings for High Court and Supreme Court matters.

Each matter begins with a careful review of the facts, records and the technical position before responses are filed.
