Condonation of delay in filing appeal before Commissioner (Appeals) - While construing the word 'month', it would mean a month as reckoned according to the British calendar, number of days in a month being immaterial. Therefore, the two months' limitation period was available to the petitioner upto 31.10.2019. If we add the extended period of limitation of further one month, it would mean that delay could be condoned till 31.11.2019 because the total period of three months had commenced from 31.08.2019 and would be available till 31.11.2019 but because there is no 31 days in November, the extended period of limitation would spill over to 01.12.2019. This is more so because the word ‘to’ is not used in section 85(3A) to cap the limitation period on 30.11.2019. - HC
