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.
