CBDT - Request for Exchange of Information from field offices of time barring assessment cases
IT seems a large number of requests for Exchange of Information (EOI) in time barring assessments/ matters are received in FT&TR. Division of the Board just before the time barring date.
It becomes difficult to process and forward such requests after due scrutiny to the Foreign Competent Authority in time. Further, in many cases the EOI requests are not properly drafted/prepared and modification of these requests by the field officers is r equired.
So, CBDT requests the Principal Chief Commissioners to direct officers/ CsIT concerned to send all requests for exchange of information getting time barred on 31.03.2015 to FT&TR Division latest by 15th of February 2015. References beyond this date may be sent only in unavoidable circumstances.
