Whether the amount deposited under protest prior to an order of assessment can be adjusted against the mandatory pre-deposit required for filing an appeal? - Section 26(6A) of the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act 2002 - The amount which has been deposited by the appellant anterior to the order of assessment cannot be excluded from consideration, in the absence of statutory language to that effect.
