I received my company's VCES rejection order on 16-05-2014, passed by Jurisdictional Assistant Commissioner. In terms of Sec. 85 of the act, the appeal can be preferred to Commissioner (Appeals)within 3 months from the date of receipt of order. In this case the said date comes to 15-08-2014 (Independence day holiday), 16-08-2014 & 17-08-2014 being Saturday & Sunday, can I file my appeal on 18-08-2014? Whether department can initiate any action before 15-08-2014 for enforcing the recovery arising due to rejection of VCES?

Thanks. I agree with you that to avoid any dispute, I should file the same on 14th, but my concern is that if for any reason whatsoever, I am not able to file the same on 14th; can the department initiate recovery proceedings on 14th or 18th?
