CESTAT makes online filing of appeals mandatory from Nov

CESTAT announced that online filing of appeals will be mandatory from November, with physical filing ending in December. The shift to digital filing aims to improve efficiency, reduce delays, and enhance transparency in adjudication. This transition reflects the judiciary’s efforts to integrate technology in dispute resolution, aligning with e-governance initiatives. For litigants, the move ensures faster processing and better accessibility while minimizing paperwork. The decision underscores the growing role of digitalization in India’s legal and tax dispute resolution framework.
