Email based IT assessment:Hyd, Kol added to scheme
PrintThe Income Tax department has decided to extend its ambitious email-based pilot assessment project to two more cities, in addition to the existing five metros, in an effort to ensure paperless communication regime with the taxpayers.
The department has now added Hyderabad and Kolkata under the scheme and soon a media publicity campaign will be unleashed in these cities including the earlier ones of Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Chennai for those who want to opt for the pilot project and those whose cases have been picked up for scrutiny assessment by the taxman.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), in a recent order, has cleared the inclusion of the two cities in the much-touted project that is aimed to end corruption and bring hassle-free experience for the taxpayer.
The CBDT, early this year, had notified the format and procedure for the taxman and taxpayers to usher the pilot project.
As per a latest directive issued and accessed by PTI, the Board has also asked the taxman to acknowledge documents in physical form if they are "voluminous".
"The project is not binding for taxpayers and those willing can opt for it by talking to their Assessing Officer (AO)," a senior official said.
An official notification had been earlier issued which spells out the procedure, formats and standards for ensuring "secured transmission" of emails between the AO of the department and the assessee stating all communication between the two sides will be done through PDF file format and over bonafide email ids.
This followed an amendment made by the CBDT in the Income Tax Act in December last year, which allowed emails to become the new mode of interaction tool between the AO and the tax- paying individual.
Under the new procedures, the taxman will send emails, for issuing notices and summons, through the government registered '@incometax.gov.in' email domain and the attached PDF document will have his or her designation and signature. #casansaar
