CAG in its Report No. 2 of 2017 (Direct Taxes) pointed out mistake in business rules relating to matching of TDS with offered income. Full potential of CPC such as AST-CPC interface for accessing demand/refund information, information available with AO not used in processing returns, non-linking of previous years’ ITRs resulting in excess deduction, was not realised due to not changing the definition of ‘processing’.

In addition systemic and internal control deficiencies involving revenue of Rs. 6430 crore have been included in the report.
