Besides, cases in which notices have been served under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, where in the assessing officer is of the view that an individual’s taxable income has escaped assessment, will also be taken up for scrutiny.

Cases where registration or approval by trusts and institutions under Section 12A, 12AB or those engaged in scientific research under 35(1)(ii)/ (iia)/ (iii) have not been granted or have been cancelled/withdrawn by the Competent Authority, yet the assessee has been found to be claiming tax-exemption/deduction in the return will also be taken up.

Cases selected for compulsory scrutiny by the International Taxation and Central Circle charges following the prescribed parameters and procedure with prior administrative approval of the Principal Commissioner or Commissioner will not be transferred to the National Faceless  Assessment Centre (NaFAC) unless the case itself transferred. “It is further clarified that communication to NaFAC for access and further action after selection for compulsory scrutiny will not apply to the International taxation and Central charges,” the CBDT further said.
