About this template
What is this template?
This is a special power of attorney limited to the conduct of a specific tax appeal. It is not a general power of attorney and does not grant authority over property sales or personal health decisions. It specifically mentions interaction with a Sales-tax Officer and the Tribunal (Sales-tax) Bench.
When should you use it?
Use this when you are an appellant in a tax case and want another individual to manage the litigation, including hiring senior lawyers and handling refunds. Use a Vakalatnama instead if you are appointing an advocate directly to represent you in court.
