Income Tax - Income Limits for Assigning Cases to ITO, AC/DC
CBDT has received representations from taxpayers, especially from moffussil
areas that the existing monetary limits for assigning cases for ITOs and DCs /
ACs is causing hardship to the taxpayers, as it results in transfer of their
cases to a DC/AC who is located in a different station which increases their
cost of compliance.
The kind Board has favourably considered the matter and has fixed new monetary
limits as:
Income Declared
(Mofussil areas)
Income Declared (Metro Cities)
ITOs
ACs/DCs
ITOs
DCs/ACs
Corporate returns
Upto Rs. 20 lacs
Above Rs. 20 lacs
Upto Rs. 30 lacs
Above Rs. 30 lacs
Non-corporate returns
Upto Rs. 15 lacs
Above Rs. 15 Lacs
Upto Rs. 20 lacs
Above Rs. 20 Lacs
Metro Cities are Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad,
