HOW IT WORKS
- Itatorders.in collects publicly available information on cases filed and disposed by the income tax appellate authorities. Curating the judgements through employing a team of professionals to extract information from these judgments is a tedious and time consuming process and this is where the technique of machine learning is being harnessed . Our team of experts at www.itatorders.in have developed a BOT which has the ability to identify the judges presiding in the case, lawyers appearing in cases, assessee party type, and other information like PAN, duration of justice etc.
- However we would like to give a disclaimer that information available on our forums may contain errors. This information once processed may give incorrect, or incomplete results.
- This is because the algorithm developed through BOT have limitations because of the following reasons:
- Each author of the order has a different style and format for drafting an order and there may be instances where their names are written differently in different orders e.g. “R.K. Thakkar” written as “Rajesh Thakkar” or “Rajesh M Thakkar” or “Rajesh Mohan Thakkar” and the BOT has to be taught that all these names represents the same member judge.
- Many times simple words like advocate, Chartered Accountant are also misspelled which limits the power of machine learning.
- In many cases, common orders are passed for multiple cases of different assessee’s or cross appeals are decided by common order. In this cases, it is not possible to identify the counsel for department or counsel for assessee separately.
- Some PDF files are scanned documents which can not be read by BOT and there are cases where information is in Hindi which creates error while parsing the file.
- These problems are widespread and all the efforts have been made to take into account various Permutations and combinations to minimise the errors and our deployed team also works diligently to cure these errors manually through our control panel, and we are constantly improving our search engine with more focus on context rather than content and the user shall see the improvements with roll out of each new version of BOT.
