“The camp will be inaugurated by Chairperson of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), Anita Kapur at 10 am on Monday, August 24,” Ministry of Finance said in a release.
The special counters are being organized to facilitate smaller tax payers having salary/pension income, to file paper returns.
“Taxpayers may note that for the assessment year 2015-16, corresponding to the financial year 2014-15, e-filing of return of income is mandatory for persons whose total income exceeds Rs 5 lakhs or if the return contains a claim for refund. Paper Returns in such cases will not be accepted,” the release said.
However, the income limit of Rs 5 lakhs and claim of refund will not apply to taxpayer over the age of 80 years deriving salary/pension income. In such cases paper returns will be accepted, it added.
There will also be special facilitation counters for senior citizens and differently abled persons.
Facilities like a helpdesk, assistance of Tax Return Preparers (TRPs), UTI/NSDL counters, banking, tax payment facility, PAN verification counters, drinking water, and emergency medical aid will be available at the venue.
Similar facilitation counters are being set-up in other metropolitan cities based on the local requirement. (KNN Bureau)
