Income Tax - Commitment to Issue All Refunds Before March 31 - Laxity Not to Be Tolerated.

By Vijay Kumar

IN his latest letter, the Chairman, CBDT says,

"At the moment we are issuing around 30,000 refunds every day. Around 2,000 refunds cases are being approved every day by Jt / Addl CITs. Though there is a definite progress in the issue of refunds, it is still far short of desired output.

All officers are once again requested to immediately enter & process all the refund cases & issue refunds.

All the CCITs are advised to daily review the progress of their regions & ensure that timelines given by the CBDT vide Message No. 11 dated March 5 2011 are scrupulously adhered to. No laxity or inertia would be tolerated."

Will somebody listen?
