There has been an unprecedented collection of tax revenues in the financial year 2010-11. Against an initial aggregate target of Rs.7,45,000 crore that we revised to Rs.7,82,000 crore, the total collections stand at nearly Rs.7,90.000 crore. This has greatly strengthened our efforts for fiscal consolidation that is a key imperative for growth of our country’s economy and the socio-economic developments of its people.
The Income Tax chief recently made surprise visits to some offices in the department and found to his dismay their poor maintenance and the indifferent attitude of senior officers towards their juniors. During his visit to have a first hand feel of the condition in the I-T offices, Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairman Sudhir Chandra was shocked to see obsolete furniture, dilapidated coolers, broken tubelights — all covered under thick layers of dust.
Aiming to give more teeth to the investigation against black money, Income Tax Department hit by staff shortage today said it has sought an additional 22,000 staff to strengthen its various operations. Besides, the tax department will redeploy its existing manpower towards intelligence gathering, investigations and prosecutions.
Income Tax Department today said it has until now detected tax evasion to the tune of Rs 85 crore and seized Rs 28 crore unaccounted cash from individuals in the poll bound states. “The maximum cash — Rs 17.5 crore was seized from Tamil Nadu and (Union Territory of) Puducherry,” a CBDT official said.
The income tax department will soon post 10 of its officers in tax haven nations to collect information about alleged tax evasion by Indians from these countries, an official in the finance ministry said. Concerns have been raised in the recent past over suspicion of round tripping or routing of Indians’ illicit money back into the country through tax havens.
“I-T department will review the property deals in Delhi and take action in appropriate cases,” Central Board of Direct Taxes chairman Sudhir Chandra told reporters here, adding that these reviews will include both individual and corporates property deals in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR – Noida, Gurgaon).
After having made 8.23 lakh refunds already in the first half of this month, the Income Tax Department on Monday said it will settle all the pending claims in April itself. Refunds of Rs 78,000 crore to about 85 lakh assesses were made in 2010-11. In the first half of April, the I-T Department refunded Rs 6,183 crore to 8,23,101 assesses, Chairman of Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Sudhir Chandra told reporters here.
CBDT has also lauded the Mumbai IT department on April 19, which released a book aimed at plugging tax avoidance or evasion techniques by India Inc. The CBDT has further indicated that pending corporate refunds are no longer a matter of concern.
The Minister appreciated the Revenue Department for exceeding even the revised targets of direct and indirect tax collections for fiscal year 2010-11. The Budget estimates for 2010-11 for direct and indirect taxes were Rs.7,45,000 crore which were revised to Rs.7,80,000 crore and actual collection at the end of financial year was Rs.7,92,000 crore, said the Finance Minister. The project is expected to be completed in next 24 to 30 months time, the Minister added.
At a time when the Central Board of Direct Taxes is asking taxpayers to use online platform to file returns, there is a problem that might haunt the assessees. “The data in the online system directly goes to the Central Processing Centre in Bangalore and the entire work is to done by them. Hence, say there is any delay in refund the local IT officer has nothing to do and for the ombudsman it is an issue of jurisdiction,” Income Tax Ombudsman (East) Manoj Mishra told PTI.
