We recommend CBDT to consider prescribing measurable parameters for assessment of charitable activities undertaken by private hospital trusts as a pre-condition for granting exemptions under the Income Tax Act, and amend the Act for this purpose if necessary.
This performance audit covered the assessment of private hospitals, nursing homes/medical clinics, medical colleges/research institutes, diagnostic centres, pathological labs, medical supplies agencies/stores including those running on ‘not for-profit basis’, and healthcare delivery professionals which included cases of scrutiny assessments, appeal and rectification cases completed during the period from 2012-13 to 2015-16.

CBEC constituted, in 2004, a Centralised Task Force (CTF) to co-ordinate, facilitate, monitor and oversee the efforts of Customs and Central Excise field formations in recovery of arrears. We observed that though the Task Force was entrusted with finalising and implementing strategies for realisation of arrears it did not take any such action for realisation of arrears.
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’.
