Under the existing provisions contained in section 282B of the Income-tax Act, every income-tax authority shall, on or after the 1st day of July, 2011, allot a computer-generated Document Identification Number in respect of every notice, order, letter or any correspondence issued by him to any other income-tax authority or assessee or any other person and such number shall be quoted thereon.
Considering the practical difficulties due to non-availability of requisite infrastructure on an all India basis, it is proposed to omit the aforesaid section.
This amendment will take effect retrospectively from 1st April, 2011.
