One such Feed tweeted : “What to do about old refunds”.
Presumably, reference is to refunds which have been outstanding for long, despite formal claims having been lodged but pending for, may be not just months or years, but decades.
By way of adding insult to the injury (agony), as a convenient ‘way out’, as is common knowledge, – of the Department as well, – despite the WRIT issued by the Del. HC – for that matter, in disregard and disobedience of also the commitment made by the Revenue (followed up by CBDT circulars), the highly objectionable and ridiculous practice of adjusting such refunds against frivolous ‘demands’ outrageously stated to be outstanding is being persisted.
What is all the more intriguing is that aggrieved claimants – irrespective of the quantum or the age of the taxpayer (individual)- , are being kept in a woeful state of animated suspense/angst, with no rhyme or reason whatsoever.
On a search of the Revenue ‘ s own records, countless instances of ‘contact –less/ – rid assessments’, – as opposed to ‘faceless assessments’, are sure to be mined/ found. In that, the ‘contact us’ tab on the Departmental (CPC) portal,- to the chagrin / disgust of those aggrieved,- remains permanently muted and dysfunctional.
