Tax preparer’s Scheme – 5000 qualify
The assumption that now-a-days, nobody is interested in a government job, as there are too many jobs ready and waiting in the IT sector, is apparently wrong. The Tax Return Preparer’s Scheme of the Income Tax department received around 90,000 applications. Some 48,000 candidates were short listed to appear for the test, out of which now 5000 candidates have qualified.
The successful candidates will undergo short training at 100 centres throughout the country, and appear for a certification test before being licensed to prepare and file tax returns. The Scheme is being implemented in partnership with NIIT.
