The Schedule allots to each Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) the Ranges, Special Ranges and Assessing Officers whose orders he is to hear.

From when

the date of the notification, 26 November 1998.

What to watch

Where you meet it

In filing an appeal before a Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) in the Calcutta region, and in tracing where a pending appeal has gone after the abolition of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals)-VII charge.

On the same provision

Other instruments in this library that name the same provision of the 1961 Act. They are not necessarily still operative, and a later one may have replaced an earlier one without saying so.

What a notification is. A notification is made under a power the Act itself gives, and within that power it is law — unlike a circular, which only binds the department. Its reach is the reach of the enabling provision and no wider, and the date it carries decides from when it works.
