FAQ :
The revised instruction aims to improve taxpayer services and reduce grievances arising from high-pitched scrutiny assessments by outlining the constitution and functioning of Local Committees.
A high-pitched scrutiny assessment refers to tax assessments that are considered overly aggressive or unreasonable by the taxpayer.
Administrative action can be initiated against tax officers if Local Committees find assessments to be high-pitched, or if there's a lack of natural justice, non-application of mind, or gross negligence.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued these revised instructions.
The revised instruction, dated 23rd April 2022 (F.No.225/101/2021-ITA-II), is available on www.incometaxindia.gov.in at the provided link.
