Litigation Reduction and Management - Enhancement of Monetary Limits - CBDT and CBIC Circulars - August 2019- Industry perspective


Government to become efficient and responsible litigant

Sir Your article is quite informative and hit hard on the point that why we are accepting mountains of litigation in Tax matter. With lot of work happening in technology front , ease of doing business and wonderful SVLDRS scheme , there is greater need of empowered officers deciding online about the contentious issues and assesse are also encouraged to go slow on litigation by putting up higher penalty and clear law in place . Timely clarification plays a big role in it for sure and need of fiscal research can’t be undermined to develop trusted environment and not trusted amnesty always
