FAQ :
The Faceless Penalty Scheme, 2021 is a new initiative by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) that enables penalty proceedings under the Income-tax Act, 1961, to be conducted electronically without the physical presence of the taxpayer.
The scheme came into force on the date of its publication in the Official Gazette, which was 12th January 2021.
Penalties under this scheme can be imposed in respect of such territorial areas, persons, income, cases, or penalties as may be specified by the Board.
Cases are assigned to penalty units through an automated allocation system, which uses technological tools like artificial intelligence and machine learning for randomised allocation.
The National Faceless Penalty Centre facilitates the centralised conduct of faceless penalty proceedings and assigns cases to specific penalty units.
Taxpayers will be notified through their registered account on the designated portal, registered email address, or registered mobile number via SMS or the Income-tax Department's mobile app.
