CIT(A) · Faceless appeals

For the counsel who'd rather lose a night than file an unsupported ground.

First Appeal Submissions drafts your submission ground by ground — from the Assessment Order and Form 35 — and flags every missing fact instead of guessing. A precedent-backed first draft in minutes, not five hours.

Every draft ends with the precedents relied upon. A draft for professional review — never filed-ready advice.

How it works

Three steps. No guessing.

01

Upload the record

Give First Appeal Submissions the Assessment Order and Form 35. That is the record it works from — nothing more.

02

It lists the grounds & drafts each

Every ground of appeal is parsed and drafted separately, with the precedents relied upon cited at the end.

03

It flags what's missing

Where a fact is not on record, First Appeal Submissions marks it in the margin. You decide what to add. The judgement stays yours.

The difference

Every other tool buries a "verify before filing" disclaimer. We make it the product.

First Appeal Submissions drafts only from what's on your record. Where a fact is missing, it says so — in the margin, by name — instead of writing around the gap. You file arguments you can stand behind.

The knowledge base

Trained on 45 years of a senior counsel's work.

First Appeal Submissions draws on thousands of written submissions by a senior counsel with 45+ years at the bar, a library of judicial precedents, and live research on the Income-tax Act, Rules, Circulars and Notifications. Client identities are stripped before anything enters the knowledge base.

It is a first draft for your review — the judgement stays yours.

Ground-wise facts and arguments, live-citation markers, and every missing fact flagged in the margin. Read it before you spend a rupee.

Ground 2 · Disallowance u/s 14A

The learned Assessing Officer erred in invoking Rule 8D without first recording objective satisfaction as mandated in Maxopp Investment Ltd. v. CIT (2018) 402 ITR 640 (SC).

Consequently, the disallowance is unsustainable on the record as presently constituted.

Questions

Before you draft

Is the draft ready to file?

No — it's a first draft for professional review. Grounds with missing facts are flagged, not filed-ready. The judgement stays yours.

Which appeals does it handle?

CIT(A) faceless appeals. Upload the Assessment Order and Form 35. ITAT drafting is on the roadmap.

What happens to my client's documents?

How is it priced?

Prepaid credits — one credit drafts one submission. No subscription. A credit is spent only when you accept a draft.

Can it sound like me?

Yes. Add a personal style addendum and First Appeal Submissions drafts in your voice and formatting, over the senior counsel's argument structure.
