Over a period of time, it was widely felt that the Income-tax (Appellate Tribunal) Rules, 1963, have outlived their utility to some extent in view of changing circumstances and the use of technology in the Tribunal’s functioning. In the times to come, the use of technology in the Tribunal’s day to day functioning will increase manifold. It is in this background that a need is felt to revisit the existing rules and substitute the same by the new rules. This committee was entrusted with the work of preparing the new Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Rules 2017 in the place of the existing Income-tax (Appellate Tribunal) Rules, 1963.
