One crore income tax payers will get relief
Gupta said the above things in a special conversation with Dainik Jagran after presenting the interim budget 2024-25. In the interim Budget 2024-25, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had proposed to cancel the demands of small amounts of penalty from income tax payers on behalf of the department during a certain period. He had also said that this would provide relief to one crore income tax payers.
Don’t have to go through a difficult process
Regarding this, the CBDT Chairman says that this process will be quite easy and care will be taken that this announcement is implemented in such a way that the income tax payers who are going to benefit do not have to go through any difficult process. The Income Tax Department will reject these demands at its own level and they will be removed from the records of the department.
Such outstanding direct tax demands up to ten thousand rupees will be refunded
All the information related to this will be given in the e-filing portal so that the concerned income tax payer can also see it and if he has any objection to anything, he can bring it forward. The Finance Minister had said that such outstanding direct tax demands up to Rs 25,000 relating to the period up to financial year 2009-10 and up to Rs 10,000 relating to the period 2010-11 to 2014-15 will be withdrawn.
