Laxity on part of assessees
DGS & DM laments that a large number of assessees have still not intimated their e-mail IDs to the department. As a result, the activities in ACES have not been to the desired level. In this connection, template of a letter was sent to the Commissioners to collect the e-mail IDs from the assessees, particularly when they come to the office to submit their manual returns. They were advised to either get the e-mail data updated in ACES through the Range officers or forward the information in excel sheet to DG, Systems so that it can be updated. The Commissioners were also advised to send copies of this template to various Chambers of Commerce and Industry with a request to advise their members to submit email IDs to the department as soon as possible and start using ACES.
