CBDT hereby lays down the following procedure and criteria for compulsory manual selection of returns/cases requiring scrutiny during the financial-year 2017-2018:-
In 2006, the Indian Government introduced electronic filing of Income-tax returns for the first time in case of corporates which subsequently made mandatory for all tax payers. Since then there is constant digitization of processing of tax returns.
Under the present system of limited scrutiny under CASS (Computer Aided Scrutiny Selection) Income Taxes Cases are selected for hearing under various parameters and assessments are made basing on the books of account and evidences produced. Further notices are sent to assessees basing on information collected from the Annual Information Returns (AIR) and verified whether Returns of Incomes were filed and the income returned is correct with respect to the information collected.
Constitution of Committee to give recommendations regarding how to make effective assessment through the use of departmental database/ e-system-reg.
Reconstitution of Committee to study the feasibility of the recommendations regarding Group Assessment and System of Peer Review Before Assessment
