It is foolish on the part of the Board to take such a retrograde step. Due to interference, the board has already killed the institution of CIT (Appeals) and now they want to repeat their mistake in the case of CITs also. Any organisation which does not believe in the competence of its human resource and their integrity, will soon disintegrate. The board should take action on hundreds of problems being encountered by the tax payers and resolve their grievances and not frittering its energy on such wasteful monitoring.
