Every Year, the CBDT issues a CAP giving target to the field offices in Key Result Areas. However, due to unprecedented situation arsing out of COVID-19 epidemic, for the FY 2020-21, it has issued a shorter Interim Central Action Plan (ICAP) for only the first quarter of the year.
CBDT has categorically stated that during the quarter, no communication is to be issued to the taxpayers/assessees having an adverse effect on them till the further guidelines are issued. Particularly no notice u/s 148 for reopening of a case shall be issued without fresh communication from the CBDT.
As per the ICAP, the main emphasis is on inhouse cleaning and preparedness for the work when the situation improves. To illustrate; issuance of notice u/s 148, final settlement of audit objections, disposal of Rectification Petitions u/s 154, removing demand related work, disposal of application u/s 12AA / 80G disposal of applications for condonation of delay in filing Form 10 & 10B etc.
