The CBDT is reportedly exploring a restructuring of designations within the Income Tax Department to make roles more understandable and create a transparent image.

Positions like the Commissioner of Income Tax (CIT) and the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax are expected to be affected, with updated titles reflecting their primary duties.

The goal is to use more straightforward nomenclature, such as 'Commissioner (Tech and Policy)', to ensure titles accurately reflect specialised duties for officials managing technical and policy matters.

A suggested title of 'Commissioner (Media)' would provide a more accurate reflection of the role, as the current title covers media responsibilities but not technology policy.

The committee reviewed the allocation of responsibilities for the condonation of delay function, aiming to optimize workflow for taxpayers needing to file returns post-deadline.

The changes are expected to enhance the Income Tax Department's overall service delivery, foster greater public trust, and help taxpayers navigate the department more effectively.
