Accelerate disposal of tax demands, refunds: Nirmala Sitharaman
Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday directed income tax (I-T) officers to accelerate the disposal of disputed tax demands, timely process tax refunds, and proactively resolve taxpayer grievances.
Chairing the Conclave of Principal Chief Commissioners of Income-tax (Pr.CCsIT) here, she said that all departmental appeals falling below the revised monetary thresholds as notified in recent policy changes should be identified and withdrawn within a period of three months.
Sitharaman also commended the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) for its work in drafting the new income tax Bill, which successfully embodies the Prime Minister’s vision of simplification and clarity in laws. She asked the department to be prepared to conduct nationwide awareness and capacity-building programmes once the Bill is duly passed by the Parliament.
