No need to visit any office or meet the taxman: Income Tax

With the launch of the faceless assessment scheme, income tax┬аassessees┬аwho have got scrutiny notices do not need to go visit the any office or meet any official.

If you get a scrutiny notice from the Income Tax Department, don’t worry! No need to go to the IT Office or meet the local IT Officer! Use the #FacelessAssessment┬аScheme & file your reply online. No physical interface between taxpayer & IT Dept, the income tax department said on Twitter.

 

 

Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairman┬аMody┬аsaid all such notices need to be responded to electronically without the requirement of visiting a tax office or meeting any official.

A central computer picks up tax returns for scrutiny based on risk parameters, mismatch, and then allots them randomly to a team of officers. This allotment is reviewed by officers at another randomly selected location and only if concurred, a notice is sent by the┬аcentralised┬аcomputer system.
