BREAKING - CBDT
The Income Tax Dept has begun issuing notices to all employers / salary-disbursement offices, not individual employees.
This shifts verification at source, where deductions are examined and allowed.
Employers must now verify declarations and supporting documents before granting deductions—strengthening accountability, improving compliance, and curbing inflated or fake claims.
With verification moving at source, employees are advised to:
• Declare only genuine and eligible deductions
• Maintain proper supporting documents
• Avoid inflated or estimated claims
• Ensure declarations align with the final income-tax return
Accurate declarations reduce scrutiny, adjustments, and disputes tomorrow.
