Bombay HC says tax appeal time starts on receipt of order
In short
The Bombay High Court said the time to file an income tax appeal starts when the person receives the ITAT order, not when it is announced. That changes when the filing deadline begins.
This matters because it can help taxpayers avoid missing the deadline. The reporting does not give the case name or other details.
What the reporting says
The Bombay High Court held that the limitation period for an income tax appeal starts from the date the aggrieved party receives the ITAT order, not from the date the order is pronounced. The reporting says this clarifies when the filing clock begins for appeals. The immediate consequence is procedural relief for taxpayers and lower risk of appeals being treated as late. The available reporting does not state the case details or parties beyond this legal point.
Why it matters
The Bombay High Court’s ruling fixes the start of the appeal deadline at the date of receipt of the ITAT order. That makes the filing timeline clearer for taxpayers and the aggrieved party in income tax disputes. The reporting does not identify the parties or facts of the underlying appeal. The practical effect is on limitation counting, not on the tax dispute itself.
