CITs(A) not uploading Stats Data - 2.3 lakh appeals pending
THE Appeal module of the ITBA (Income Tax Business Application) was launched on 22nd June 2015 by the Chairman CBDT. As a precursor, the CsIT(A) were provided with an excel utility in the month of May 2015 to capture the pendency of appeal which was to be then uploaded in the ITBA. Thereafter, a training programme on Appeal module was organized for CsIT(A) and their staff at nine major centres during the period 13.07.2015 to 24.08.2015 to enable them to work online. The progress in uploading of pending appeals is being monitored on a weekly basis.
A snapshot of performance in capturing pendency is as follows.
Out of 196 CsIT(A) with RSA (Remote Security Authenticate) tokens [sanctioned strength: 362), only 86 have logged into the ITBA till date. More than a 100 CsIT[A) are still to log into the ITBA.
From a total of 2,32,126 appeals pending as on 01.04.15, only 18,483 appeals have been uploaded in the Appeals module, which translates into 7.96% of total pending appeals.
