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.
