FAQ :

The main goal is to enhance transparency and ensure tax compliance among taxpayers by providing clarity on the scrutiny process.

Yes, under the new guidelines, taxpayers will be informed about the specific reasons why their ITRs have been shortlisted for scrutiny.

Specific cases include those arising from surveys detecting tax evasion, search and seizure cases (prior to April 1, 2021), cases where returns have not been filed after a notice, and cases with specific tax evasion information from law enforcement.

Information sharing from other agencies plays a crucial role in identifying potential tax evasion cases for scrutiny.

The guidelines are expected to increase taxpayer awareness about scrutiny triggers, act as a deterrent to tax evasion, and encourage more diligent and accurate filing of returns.
