    Dear Sir,
    I need to file for condonation of last six AYs to claim refund of IT arising out of grant of Disability pension which is totally exempt inder IT Act .
    Sec 119(2)(b) states “In case where refund claim has arisen consequent to a Court Order, the period for which any such proceedings were pending before any Court of Law shall be ignored while calculating the said period of six years, provided such Condonation application is filed within six months from the end of the month in which such Court Order was issued or the end of financial year, whichever is later.”
    In my case the legal case was filed in Court in Mar 2017. The court gave verdict in Mar 2020. However due to pandemic the order was not officially given till Oct 20. Thereafter the implementation of the decision by the Govt authorities took another 9 months to issue instructions for payment.
    Now can I file for condonation to CIT as under
    1. FY 17-18, 18-19, 19-20 -period the Case was pending before the court of Law
    2. FY 11-12 to FY 16-17 – Six previous years as per sec 119(2)(b)
    3. OR it will be only six previous years from FY 14-15 to FY 19-20.
    Also can I take benefit of Order dated 27th April, 2021 passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Misc. Application No. 665/2021 in Suo Motu
    Writ Petition (Civil) No. 3/2020 directed that the period of limitation in filing petitions/applications/ Suits/appeals/ all other proceedings, irrespective of the period of limitation under the general or special laws, shall stand extended with effect from 15thMarch, 2020 till further orders. Delay has occured due to pandemic and no fault of mine in not being able to file for condonation application within six months from the end of the month in which such Court Order was issued or the end of financial year, whichever is later.
    Please Clarify. Thanks

  7. Phool Lata ogra says:

    My question is a) can AO raise a claim for non payment ( though paid) for 12 years old return
    b) Has AO the power to change the amounts of 1) income from salary / pension & income from other sources & workout the tax payable @ of10%+ cess & then raise the demand as outstanding amount. Is it haresement or indirect way of corruption.

    A person hold a PAN card issued by IT deptt. He is receiving his TDS certificates generated through TRACES site with the same PAN. When he tries to register on efiling site for efiling of return of income the message is “PAN does not exist”. He contacted efiling help-desk and he was told to contact NSDL. NSDL says that it is not its job. What remedy does one have in such a situation? Kindly guide. Thanks
