No pre-deposit required in case tax is fully deposited


Quick Summary
The Calcutta High Court has ruled that a pre-deposit should not be required if the full tax amount has already been deposited. In this case, the assessee had appealed a demand order and deposited 10% of the disputed tax. The High Court set aside a Single Bench order that required an additional 20% deposit of the interest liability, stating it was not a statutory requirement. The case was remitted to the Appellate Authority to consider the appeal on its merits.
