ITEF secretariat meeting Dtd 13th Jan'14 : Agitation and non cooperation from 21st

ITEF secretariat meeting held on 13th January at New Delhi and decided to go on nationwide agitation against unrealistic post allocation, clear instruction on Parmar issue, regular payment to Daily Paid employees. The call is for mass Dharna on 21st January and non cooperation in search and survey, non submission of statistical reports etc from 22nd January. But it is doubtful, how many of circles will join the agitation as some of them is quiet satisfied with allocation of posts and they oppose any change in this regard. Kerala circle has openly against any such agitation. It is reported that Lucknow, Bihar and Jharkhand are also satisfied with their share of posts and most likely to abstain from any such agitation.

No ITR V to be sent after filing Income Tax returns ONLINE

Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the apex office to formulate policies for the Income Tax department, was prompted to take this “customer-friendly” step after it was recently informed that lakhs of such paper statements — ITRV — have not reached its Central Processing Centre (CPC) despite people filing their e-returns online.
