E-Assessment Tax Scheme

Evaluation of India’s Faceless E-Assessment Tax Scheme




The Central Board of Direct Tax’s ‘Faceless E-assessment of Tax Returns’ (now
referred to as the Faceless Assessment Scheme (FAS) was notified on 12th
September 2019 to facilitate a simple, transparent, efficient and accountable
way of carrying out and concluding income tax assessment proceedings. The scheme
is implemented by CBDT in the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance,
through a National e-Assessment Centre (NeAC) and a network of eight Regional
e-Assessment Centres (ReACs). The FAS is a major team based digital initiative
of CBDT to further simplify tax administration and introduce greater efficiency,
transparency, speed and convenience for the taxpayer in income tax assessments
and in tax collection. Building on CBDT’s prior e-Proceedings tax protocol, this
scheme is a double-blind anonymization procedure (hence “faceless”) where the
taxpayer is unaware of who the Assessment Officer (AO) is and where she/he sits.
This is in contrast to the earlier e-Proceedings scheme in which scrutiny
assessments were housed in the same jurisdiction assigned to the taxpayer. The
Department of Economic Affairs and Central Board of Direct Taxes Ministry of
Finance, Government of India has requested NCAER to take up an independent,
third-party assessment on the ease of compliance of taxpayers with the FAS, as
well as obtain and evaluate the responses of taxpayers on their overall
experience on the efficiency, speed, effectiveness, transparency, and
accountability of the new scrutiny process. This evaluation by NCAER would also
suggest areas of improvement in the Faceless e-Assessment Scheme based on the
feedback received from taxpayers.
