CBDT to I-T department: Curb high-pitched assessments; take action against erring assessing officers
The CBDT has issued a stern directive to Income Tax Department (ITD) offices in the country, asking them to curb "high-pitched" assessments against taxpayers and ensure that assessing officers who issue such irrational orders are transferred and face disciplinary action.
The decision was taken as part of the Modi government’s plan to check high-handedness of taxmen. (IE)
The CBDT has issued a stern directive to Income Tax Department (ITD) offices in the country, asking them to curb “high-pitched” assessments against taxpayers and ensure that assessing officers who issue such irrational orders are transferred and face disciplinary action.
CBDT Chairperson Sushil Chandra, in a recent three-page directive to all regional ITD chiefs, expressed disappointment that a special drive launched in this regard in 2015 had failed to achieve its mandate of resolving taxpayers’ grievances and was under-utilised.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), which frames policy for the tax department, had four years ago sought the creation of local committees in every tax region headed by a principal chief commissioner to “expeditiously deal with taxpayers’ grievances arising from high-pitched scrutiny assessment”.
The decision was taken as part of the Modi government’s plan to check high-handedness of taxmen in deciding assessments of a common taxpayer that led to issues of corruption and bribery.
The tax department has taken action against at least 10 assessing officers (AOs) till now as part of this drive, but still enough is not being done, a senior official told PTI.
A high-pitched scrutiny assessment case is one where it is found that the addition of income was made on frivolous grounds, non-observance of principles of natural justice, or non-application of mind and gross negligence by the assessing officer in deciding a case.
A local committee of senior ITD officials, in case a order was found to be unreasonable or high-pitched, was empowered by the CBDT to take remedial action to rectify the demand and ensure that the taxpayer is not harassed.
The CBDT chairperson, in his letter, said the performance of these committees in the last three years “has not been found to be satisfactory”.
Citing examples, Chandra said last year (2016-17), the reports filed by the regions, after prodding from the CBDT, were found to be either deficient or incomplete.
“For 2017-18, not a single report of local committees from any of the regions has been received by the board,” the chairman said in the letter.
Chandra said that he has got “personal feedback” that these committees are either vacant at many locations due to transfer or promotion of a member or meetings were not being held regularly.
“You would also appreciate that all these deficiencies in functioning of local committees are hampering their effectiveness in tackling high-pitched assessments in an institutional manner,” he said.
Therefore, he said, regional chiefs of the department should give due attention to “monitor performance of local committees on a regular basis so that these committees serve as a useful mechanism to curb high-pitched assessments in the ITD.”
He said that in cases where such assessments are found, an explanation should be sought from the assessing officer and in select cases, the official should be transferred to a non-sensitive post without any delay and disciplinary action initiated against him or her.
“No coercive action should be taken for recovery of demand in cases which have been identified as high-pitched by the local committee,” the chairman said.
The CBDT chief also directed that a compliance report on these cases should be sent to the board every three months and a publicity campaign no should be undertaken so that taxpayers know that this mechanism can be used to get their grievance redressed, if they are not happy or feel that their tax assessment is not fair

ICAI will keep records of attestations by CAs
As per the latest ICAI notification, ICAI has launched new system to generate a new unique identification Number to keep track and records of attestations and certifications done by CAs.

It has been noticed that financial statements and documents were being certified/ attested by third persons, in lieu of Chartered Accountants. As these statements are being relied upon by the authorities as true statements and certificates, UDIN can be generated by a practicing CA by registering his/her documents/ certificates on UDIN Portal for verification.
4. Who can generate UDIN?
A practising Chartered Accountant can generate a UDIN for certificate/ document attested by him either in individual capacity or as a partner.
5. Whether UDIN is mandatory for the CA members of ICAI for each certification done?
At present, this facility is recommendatory. But ICAI is mulling to make the same compulsory in near future, so as to curb the menace of fake or forged documents.

Also, under the new system any person can the check the validity of the certificate issued.
The Certificate Number can be cross checked athttps://udin.icai.org?mode=searchudin
7. How many UDINs can be generated by a CA? Is there any limit?
There is no restriction on the number of UDINs to be generated by a CA.
8. Can a Certificate number once generated be revoked or cancelled?
The UDIN once generated can be withdrawn or cancelled with narration. Hence if any user search for this UDIN, appropriate narration indicated by Member with the date of revoke will be displayed for reference.
9. What is the validity of a UDIN on the portal for viewing by a third party?
As of now, there is no time limit.
10. Is UDIN mandatorily required to be registered for the search?
Yes, UDIN will be available for search by the end user only after registration.
11. What are the key values and are they necessary?
While registering the certificate for generation of UDIN, the member has to compulsorily provide Key values (minimum three and maximum five),which are found in the document or certificate generated.
Key values can be any financial figure extracted from the attested statement or certificate such as Turnover Net profit, Utilization amount, Import amount, Export amount, Duty refund, Refund, Net worth, Revenue, Input tax credit, Loan amount, Total Assets, Net owned funds, Profitability, Capital To Risk Asset Ratio (CRAR), Statutory Liquidity Ratio, Gross fixed assets, Net loss, Misc. expenditure, Total capital investment, Sanction amount, Other (please specify any key words),etc.
12. Is online generation of UID number is mandatory? Or, if the UID number is generated offline, can the same be entered in backdate?
Yes, it is mandatory that the numbers to be generated online only.
13. How will the UDIN appear on the documents?
UDIN that have been generated would be displayed as watermarked on document(s) else the UDIN can be mentioned on the document(s)using a pen.“List UDIN' menu can be used to print the UDIN.
14. Can UDIN be generated as per the category of the area of certificate?
Yes, UDIN can be generated in the specific area of certificate, like Goods & Service Tax Act, banks, Companies Act, Income-tax Act, finance and capital market, public finance and government accounting, etc,.
