Income Tax Staff to be diverted to Investigation Directorate
THE CBDT Chairman in a letter to all the Principal Chief Commissioners has asked them to spare some officers to the DG, Investigation. The Chairman says,
1. As you are aware after notification of the Government on 08.11.2016 declaring the old high denomination currency notes of Rs. 1000/500 invalid from 9.11.2016, investigation Directorates have intensified enforcement actions in detecting serious irregularities.
2. They are, however, seriously handicapped because of non-availability of manpower.
3. The current drive is likely to continue in the coming weeks.
4. I understand that many assessing officers in the field-formation are left with very little time-barring workload. Reorganisation of work can spare many of such officers.
5. In view of the above, I request you to identify such officers as also Inspectors and make them available to the DsGIT (Inv.) of your region, immediately.
