Income Tax -ASK for 70 more centres

IN the Result Framework Document, 2014-15, the CBDT has resolved to augment the number of Aayakar Seva Kendras from existing 189 already set up in the Income-tax department by setting up additional 70 Aayakar Seva Kendras (ASK) all over the country in the current financial year 2014-15.

The Board has decided that these Centres should preferably be set up in relatively bigger stations where the senior most authority is either the CIT, Addl CsIT or Multiple ITOs charge. Accordingly, the CBDT has finalised setting up of 70 Aayakar Seva Kendras. CBDT has specified the Stations and the jurisdictional CCsIT. The setting up of ASK at these locations is also included in the Annual Action Plan 2014-15.

The Directorate of O&M Services of the CBDT is monitoring the setting up of the ASK centres.
