Answer by: Lavina Bajaj |
Procedure in appeal :- an appeal to the Commissioner (Appeals) is to be filed in Form No. 35 and to the Tribunal in Form No. 36. Cross-objections are to be filed in Form No. 36A.
As per notes to the Form No. 35 the memorandum of appeal, statement of facts and the grounds of appeal must be in duplicate and should be accompanied by a copy of the order appealed against and the notice of demand in original, if any. However, it is advisable that an assessee prepares three identical sets of appeal papers which would include the order for the sake of convenience so that he can file two sets with the Commissioner (Appeals) and take the acknowledgment on the third. The memorandum of appeal should be accompanied by the prescribed fee. The schedule of fee is given hereinafter. Further, where the appeal is filed against an order imposing penalty under section 271(1)(c) of the Act , a copy of assessment order must also be attached.
Rule 9 of the Tribunal Rules provides that every memorandum of appeal to be filed before the Tribunal shall be in triplicate and shall be accompanied by two copies (at least one of which is a certified copy) of the order appealed against, two copies of the order of the assessing officer, two copies of the grounds of appeal, before the first Appellate authority and two copies of statement of facts, if any, filed before the said Appellate Authority. In a case of appeal against the order of penalty, the memorandum of appeal shall also be accompanied by two copies of the assessment order. Where an assessment order is passed under section 143(3) rws 144B or under section 143(3) rws 144A or under section 143(3) rws 147, the memorandum of appeal shall also be accompanied by the two copies of the draft assessment order under section 144B or directions under section 144A or the original assessment order as the case may be. The memorandum of appeal before the Tribunal shall also be accompanied by the prescribed fees. However, it is advisable that four identical sets consisting of memorandum of appeal in Form No. 36, order of Commissioner (Appeals), Form No. 35 with annexures and the assessment/penalty order from which the appeal arises are prepared for the sake of convenience so that three sets could be filed before the Tribunal and an acknowledgment can be taken on the fourth. It may be noted that, explanation to Rule 9 clarifies that "certified copy " will include the copy which was originally supplied to the assessee as well as photostat copy thereof duly authenticated by the assessee or his authorised representative as a true copy.
The Supreme Court in CIT vs. Calcutta Discount Co. Ltd., (1973) 91 ITR 8 (SC) observed that in considering an appeal the Appellate Authority should deal with the substance of the matter at issue and not be unduly influenced by mere procedural technicalities, for example, whether the memo of appeal was or was not in proper form etc.
