The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has launched the New ITAT E-Filing Portal which is to be initially soft-commissioned at Delhi Zone Headquarter.
The e-Filing Portal shall be initially soft-commissioned at Delhi Zone Headquarter with effect from 21st June 2021 and would be gradually rolled out at all other Zonal Headquarters and other subordinate Benches across the country within a period of one month thereafter.
This facility is expected to be proved advantageous for quick communication to parties about their appeals, fixation for hearing, adjournments, pronouncements and disposals.
“Whilst the outbreak of COVID-19 Pandemic has posed significant challenges all over the world causing mass disruptions in all sectors, including the justice delivery systems, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal has responded to such challenges in its own humble way, by rapidly adopting the supportive technologies that enabled the continuation of functioning of Courts through the mode of Video Conferencing and, at times, exchange of documentation using web-based platforms in the pandemic period. In this way, we have transitioned from being primarily traditional face-to-face proceedings to online court proceedings also, an experiment which has been very successful and, I am happy to share that the ITAT has adapted to this new landscape quickly,” the ITAT President Justice P.P.Bhatt said while notifying the Launching of e-Filing Portal of Income Tax Appellate Tribunal
In furtherance to the spirit of the motto of the ITAT, i.e., ‘Nishpaksh Sulabh Satvar Nyay’ meaning, Impartial, Easy and Speedy justice, we, at ITAT, are pleased to announce for the benefit of all our stakeholders the launch of the e-Filing Portal, which has been developed consequently upon the revision of Memoranda of Appeal and Cross- objection under the Income-tax Act, 1961 and has been extensively tested by in-house as well as by pre-identified external users and, the user-acceptance has been reported of a satisfactory level.
