CBDT has directed officials to start scrutinising information from tax evasion petitions, and take them up on a priority basis.
The CBDT has now laid down parameters specifying the manner in which any communication issued by any income-tax authority relating to assessment, appeals, orders, statutory or otherwise, exemptions, enquiry, investigation, verification of information, penalty, prosecution, rectification and approval to the assessee will be dealt with.
The project is expected to be activated by the end of this month.
