On June 25, 2021, at 4:00 p.m. in New Delhi, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad launched the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal's (ITAT) e-filing system, dubbed "itat e-dwar."
According to the Ministry of Law and Justice, the newly built e-filing platform will allow parties to file appeals, miscellaneous applications, documents, paper books, and other materials electronically.
The establishment of the ‘itat e-dwar' e-filing platform will improve the ITAT's accessibility, accountability, and transparency in its day-to-day operations. It would not only save money by reducing the amount of paper used, but it would also simplify case fixation, allowing for faster case disposal.
ITAT's initiative, according to Prasad, should not be viewed as a stand-alone measure. Instead, it should be viewed as part of a bigger storey about the country's development through the digital medium. It promotes innovation and empowerment, as well as new growth opportunities. He expressed the hope that the concept of ‘itat e-dwar' would be broadly adopted by lawyers and tax litigants alike. On this occasion, a virtual function was held at the national level, with representatives from all 28 ITAT stations in attendance. The virtual function was also attended by members of other Bar Associations.
