CIC orders that Investigation in Tax Evasion Petition be completed in 4 Months
One of our warriors filed a TEP for which a RTI was filed by him for Action Taken Report(ATR) and end result of the investigation. The department was dilly dallying the investigation and had also denied providing him any information. First appeal was filed and then the matter was escalated to the CIC.
After hearing both the sides the CIC decided in favour of our warrior and asked the department to complete the investigation in a time bound manner and provide the outcome to our warrior.
One thing everyone filing Tax Evasion Petition with Income Tax Department shall keep in mind that it is a lengthy process and due to various rulings of High Courts and Supreme Court, now getting the Income Tax Returns is not possible now. Even getting the Action Taken Report is quite tedious. One should be ready to take the same till Central Information Commission by filing second appeal. This as well as other success stories in TEP has been possible because the fighters did not give up but rather took it upon themselves to keep perusing the matter till it reached conclusion.
