FAQ

When can I appeal?

Within 30 days of receiving the assessment notice. Late appeals admissible only with sufficient cause — varies by state.

Need a lawyer?

For straightforward appeals (incorrect ARV, wrong category) — file directly. For complex cases (multiple years, valuation disputes) — yes, lawyer fee ₹5-15k.

Will the tax department raise it again?

Yes if you sell. New owner's assessment is based on current circle rate. But for current owner, post-appeal valuation typically holds 3-5 years.
