Absolute value of assessed income should be taken to determine the fee for appeal. Accordingly, the fee payable is Rs.1,000/- and not Rs.250/-.

Pl see the decision of Hyderabad Bench of the Tribunal in Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board vs. ITO (1994) 49 ITD 552 (Hyd) wherein they held that even where total income is computed at a loss and such loss exceeds Rs.1 lakh, the fees payable would be as per the slab prescribed for the income more than Rs. 1 lakh and therefore fees are to be determined on the basis as if loss determined is income.

However a contrary decision can be seen in the case of Tribunal fees in Gibs Computer Vs. ITAT (2009) TIOL 462 (MUM). DECISION OF HIGH COURT DATED 29/07/2009.

Thank you Mr. Warrier. You will be agree that Decision of HC will prevail over the decision of ITAT and any case, one should go ahead with challan of Rs. 250/-. Let the CIT(A) raise the defect.
