How The Taxman Plans To Close Cases Faster
The income tax (I-T) department has set a target to dispose of over 2 lakh Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), or CIT(A), cases this financial year (FY26), building on last year's disposal of 1.72 lakh cases, with a significant number already cleared by January, a senior finance ministry official said in a post-Budget interaction with Business Standard.
As of January 20, the department has already disposed of 1.65 lakh CIT(A) cases, the official added.
In FY25, nearly 5.4 lakh appeal cases were pending, involving a disputed tax demand of about Rs 16.75 trillion.
