How to Proceed with withdrawl of appeal filed with CIT(A), Income Tax

To address the issue of surrendering PAN and TAN with a pending appeal, consider the following steps:

Recommended Course of Action -

*Request for Disposal of Appeal*: File a request with CIT(A) to dispose of the appeal due to the merger and non-existence of the company.

Provide documentation supporting the merger, such as the merger order and certificate of incorporation. -

 *Application for Surrender of PAN/TAN*: Once the appeal is disposed of, submit an application to the Assessing Officer (AO) for surrendering the PAN and TAN.

Include necessary documents like the merger resolution, approval letter, and original PAN card.

Application Format The application for surrendering PAN/TAN should include: -

 *Reason for Surrender*: Clearly state the reason for surrendering the PAN/TAN, citing the merger and non-existence of the company. -

*Documentation*: Attach supporting documents, such as the merger order, certificate of incorporation, and proof of no outstanding tax dues. -

 *Undertaking*: Provide an undertaking that if any government dues are found recoverable in the future, the company will deposit the same immediately along with interest.

Relevant Case Laws While there aren't specific case laws directly addressing the withdrawal of an appeal in this context, ITAT has allowed appeal withdrawal due to opting for the Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Scheme (DTVSV) with a conditional clause of revival.

- *Maintain Records*: Keep accurate records of all correspondence, submissions, and documentation related to the appeal and surrender process.
