An Income Tax Officer has issued a demand notice for late filing of TDS returns for the financial years 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-15. To file an appeal with the CIT Appeals, a copy of the demand order is necessary. If the client doesn't have the original notice, a duplicate can be requested from the jurisdictional ITO. The appeal must generally be filed within 30 days of receiving the demand notice, though the CIT Appeals may condone delays if sufficient cause is shown, requiring an application with Form No. 35 and supporting evidence.
