PRESS RELEASE 
 
Streamlining procedure for scrutiny of income-tax returns 
 
Scrutiny of income tax returns is an important mechanism for ensuring taxpayer 
compliance and to counter tax-evasion. However, it  has evoked some concern from small 
taxpayers and senior citizens about prolonged enquiries.  Concerns have also been raised about 
selection of the same cases in scrutiny year after year. 
 
Appreciating the concern of these taxpayers and with a view to mitigate their hardships, 
Central Board of Direct Taxes has reviewed its scrutiny selection procedure. In order to redress 
the grievance, it has been decided that during the financial year 2011-12, cases of senior citizens 
and small taxpayers, filing income-tax returns in ITR-1 and ITR-2 will be subjected to scrutiny 
only where the Income Tax department is in possession of credible information. 
 
Senior citizens for this purpose would be individual taxpayers who are 60 years of age or 
more. Small taxpayers would be individual and HUF taxpayers whose gross total income, before 
availing deductions under Chapter VIA, does not exceed Rupees ten lakh
 
*** 

It means assessee carrying on business and profession and filing return in ITR-4 would not be considered small tax payers in the context of the above said notification even if his total income does not exceed Rs.10 lacs.
