sir,
Why the assessee should file appeal for the mistakes made by the Department?If the CBDT agree that the CPC is a part of the Income Tax Department, why they should not take up the 154 applications on the evidences and facts such as 26AS, self assessment challan copy or any other proff of payment of the tax?or proff that the deductor of the TDS has made the deduction.It is not possible for the assessess to made the deductor to correct the TDS statements nor they can take any action.The Department should take action.For example, if the PWD departmet has made some mistake in the TDS statement and if the CPC disallow the same,why the assessee sholuld file appeal.Is this the natural justice by the CBDT?.The power to issue notifications by the CBDT has been misused and they are trying to cover up the recent Hon’Delhi High Court orders.This is the right time for all the professionals to rise and protest against this notification.
