Over 30,000 tax litigations
are pending in the Income-tax Appellate Tribunals across the country, though
most of these appeals are filed by the tax department and not the assessees,
Minister of State for Finance S. S. Palanimanickam said in the Lok Sabha today.

(Compiler’s Note : This is due to repetitive appeals
routinely filed by the department without application of mind and nobody is held
accountable. The ITAT is not able to dispose of the appeals due to frequent
adjournments sought by the DRs.)
