With a view to dispose the pending Value Added Tax (VAT) litigations, the Maharashtra State government has decided to form three new sales tax tribunals benches in Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur.
As of now, there are five benches, all located in Mazgaon (Mumbai), to hear VAT issues.
Due to inconvenience caused to people living in the interiors of Maharashtra, the State cabinet sanctioned a proposal to form three more sales tax tribunals to dispose of litigations faster.
Mumbai will handle cases of Mumbai and Nashik region, Pune will be for Pune, Kolhapur and Aurangabad while Nagpur bench will hear cases of Nagpur district jurisdiction.
