This case study discusses the appeal of Neetu Tayal against the order of CIT(A)-I, Noida, pertaining to the Assessment Year 2010-11, which was dismissed based on the non-payment of due taxes as required under section 249(4)(b) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
The appeal, ITA No. 1401/Del/2019, challenges the CIT(A)’s decision not to admit the appeal for lack of tax payments deemed necessary for proceedings.
