Such litigation is rampant in India. According to the Economic Survey of 2018—direct and indirect tax claims worth 4.7 percent of India’s $2.5 trillion gross domestic product are under litigation as of March 2017. No surprise then that the country ranks 121 among 190 nations on ‘paying tax’ even as the overall East of Doing Business ranking leaped to 63 from 130 in 2016. To be sure, not all
