Recovery Proceedings and Stay of Demand Under Income Tax Law (As Amended by Finance Act, 2022)

............................................................................................

Description
The work of the Income Tax Department is not complete until and unless the tax demands which have been raised are collected and duly recovered. Collection and recovery is a subject which is of importance mainly to the Income Tax department rather than to the assessees. Probably due to this, there is almost no publication on this subject from private publishers. Departmental publications have also been very few. But from my own experience while working in the Income Tax Department, I have seen that while legal position is available to a considerable extent from those presently available books, a vast cloud of doubt, confusion and ignorance is looming large in their mind regarding many practical aspects. As a result, on many occasions they have been groping in the dark. This book is intended to fill this void. I have incorporated in this book not only legal provisions of Recovery proceedings & Stay of demand and relevant ones of Income Tax Act, 1961 along with a large number of important case laws and circulars/notifications on those provisions but also some other allied Acts. I have also incorporated the samples of application forms used by assessee as well as the departmental officers for collection & recovery.
