Rising litigation with the tax payers and amount locked-up in appeal before Commissioners of Income Tax (Appeals)/CIT (A), Income Tax Appellate Tribunals (ITATs), High Courts and the Supreme Court has been a matter of serious concern. I am informed that a total amount of Rs. 4,36,741 Crore was locked-up in 2,59,523 cases as on 31st December, 2011. Out of this Rs. 2,52,846 Crore is locked-up in 1,93,525 cases which are pending before CIT(A). The main reason for pendency of cases before CIT(A) appears to slower disposal rate vis-à-vis the pace of cases being filed. I am told that on an average it takes one and a half years to dispose off a case. The Department needs to ensure that after proposed cadre restructuring sufficient manpower is deployed to reduce the time taken for disposal of appeals and that it is not more than six months.

Interest u/s. 234A, 234B and 234C cannot be charged in the absence of any mention of charging of interest in assessment order – The High Court observed that in the case of Anjum M. H Ghaswala the Supreme Court has held collection of interest under Section 234A, 234B and 234C of the Act was mandatory. The High Court relied on decision of Dehradun Club Ltd. (ITA No. 15 of 2006) wherein it was held that there is no quarrel with the proposition laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Anjum M.H Ghaswala but at the same time if the assessment order contained the imposition of interest, only then, a notice of demand of interest could be issued under Section 156 of the Act.

As regards allegation of Withdrawal of exemption from Import Duty, it has been submitted that import of medical equipment had taken place in 1990 and does not pertain to the period under discussion. The duty exemption was withdrawn citing certain noncompliance, assessee has filed appeal before CESTAT challenging the order of withdrawal and that the assessee has complied with all the terms for exemption. The matter is subjudice before the said Tribunal. However, the machineries imported are used by the Hospital namely remote control X-ray system and whole body C.T. Scan. The exemption is with respect to duty under Customs Act and does not make the assessee non-charitable. It continues to render medical relief.
