- Audit / show-cause. We build the documentary record and contest proposed additions before the officer.
- Assessment order. If an adverse order issues, appeal to the Commissioner (Appeals) within limitation, with stay against recovery.
- Tribunal. Second appeal before ATIR — where a properly built record from earlier stages wins cases.
- High Court. Reference on questions of law, or writ where the action is without jurisdiction.
