Income Tax - Income Limits for Assigning Cases to ITO, AC/DC

CBDT has received representations from taxpayers, especially from moffussil areas that the existing monetary limits for assigning cases for ITOs and DCs / ACs is causing hardship to the taxpayers, as it results in transfer of their cases to a DC/AC who is located in a different station which increases their cost of compliance.

The kind Board has favourably considered the matter and has fixed new monetary limits as:
