The CBDT in its office memorandum dated 22.08.2014 has pointed out that few
Assessing officers, while issuing notices for appearance, indicates a standard time to all the
respondents and therefore many persons called for hearing etc on a day by an
officer are given the same time for appearance and the persons are made to wait
for their turn. It has been pointed out that such actions, apart from causing
avoidable inconvenience to the taxpayers/ witnesses/ representatives etc cause
great embarrassment to the Government. All officers have been advised to maintain
the appointment schedule strictly in spirit with the Citizen’s Charter, 2014 of
the Department which specifically provides that the Department shall endeavour
“to adhere to the schedule of appointments with taxpayers”. All Supervisory
officers, i.e. the CCsIT, CsIT and the Addl. CsIT have been requested to ensure
that officers reporting to them strictly comply with this instruction and avoid
fixing multiple appointments at the same time.
