The major reason for tax liability in initial years of Faceless assessment would be instances arising out of communications and system lacuna and errors and then Faceless appeal would further add to the fuel with the same system shortcomings instead of coming to taxpayers' rescue
The taxpayer gets a stay of demand subject to 20% tax payment during pendency of the first appeal but after order of CIT(A), taxpayer is fastened with recovery of 100% tax so more revenue minded orders out of faceless appeals and SOPs will result into undue hardships for taxpayer
The power of CIT(A) is co-terminus with the power of AO. But the present structure of CIT(A) is not at all aligned with the new Structure of e-assessment which will result in unnecessary notices of enhancement of income and duplicacy of inquiries.
India has 22 regional languages and most State land revenue records etc are in regional language. Many businessman maintain their books of accounts too in the native language. So before accepting the post of CIT(A), the Govt official shall be expected to know all the 22 languages
