It gives me immense pleasure in congratulating you all for accomplishing the Budget Collection Target of Rs. 8.47 lakh Crore for the F.Y. 2016-17, thereby contributing significantly in the revenue mobilisation efforts of the Government for the developmental schemes for public at large.
The provisional figures for revenue collections up to March, 2017 show a gross Direct Tax collection of Rs. 10.09 lakh crore. The net collection after issue of refunds stands at Rs. 8.47 lakh crore which is 14.2% higher than the net collection for the corresponding period last year. With this the CBDT has accomplished 100% of the direct tax target for Financial Year 2016-1 7.
CBDT has vide notification No. 21/2017 released ITR forms for Assessment Year 2017-18 / Financial Year 2016-17. The number of ITR Forms have been reduced from the existing nine to seven forms. The existing ITR Forms ITR-2, ITR-2A and ITR-3 have been rationalized and a single ITR-2 has been notified in place of these three forms. Consequently, ITR-4 and ITR-4S (Sugam) have been renumbered as ITR-3 and ITR-4 (Sugam) respectively.
Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) signs another Bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) with subsidiary of a Japanese Company taking the total APAs entered into by the CBDT to 141
With a view to concentrate all efforts towards the objective of achieving the budget target, you are requested to personally review and monitor the position of collections through advance tax, TDS and recovery from arrear and current demand of your Region on a weekly basis. I have separately written D.O. letters on stepping up efforts for recovery from arrear demand, collection out of current demand and collection from TDS, which may be followed scrupulously by all officers engaged in the work of assessment and collection.
Total number of APAs entered into by the CBDT has reached 140. This includes 10 Bilateral APAs and 130 Unilateral APAs. In the current financial year, a total of 76 APAs (7 Bilateral APAs and 61 Unilateral APAs) have already been entered into.
Expeditious issue of Refunds is a High Priority for the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT); Over 4.19 crore Income Tax Returns (ITRs) processed and over 1.62 crore refunds issued during the Current Financial Year up to 10th February, 2017.
