Income Tax Litigation Course

The Income Tax Litigation Course, prepared by Vivek Awasthi & Arjun Mittal, is designed for professionals who want to develop practical expertise in handling Income Tax litigation matters—from understanding the first notice to drafting replies, managing assessment proceedings, defending penalties and handling appeals.

The course covers the complete journey from Notice to Reply, Assessment, Reassessment, Penalty, Demand, Recovery and Appeal. You will learn how to read and decode notices, understand departmental queries, prepare supporting documents, draft legally sound point-to-point replies and build an effective defence.

Key topics include Sections 133(6), 142(1), 143(2), 143(3), 144/144B, 147/148/148A, Rectification, Penalty Proceedings, 270A/270AA, Stay of Demand, CIT(A) Appeals, Grounds of Appeal, Case Laws and Statement of Facts. The course follows the practical litigation workflow from assessment and reassessment through penalty and appellate proceedings.

You will learn a professional workflow for litigation matters: verify the notice and deadline, reconcile income and tax credits, maintain indexed supporting evidence, prepare a pointwise reply and preserve submission/upload records—the same workflow highlighted in the course’s litigation process map.

This course is designed for Chartered Accountants, Advocates, Income Tax Practitioners, Tax Professionals, Accountants, Tax Staff and Students who want to move beyond return filing and develop practical skills for handling Income Tax notices and litigation matters.
