Overview

Income Tax Department (ITD) has launched a new initiative e-Sahyog with a view to reduce compliance cost, especially for small taxpayers. This initiative is in line with the government’s commitment under Digital India to e- enable public services for the benefit of the citizens.

Traditionally, when Income Tax Department (ITD) found mismatch in information shown in the Income Tax Return with the information submitted from third parties in the form of Annual Information Return (AIR), TDS Statement etc., the cases were selected for scrutiny. The list of such mismatch related issues is provided in Annexure1.

e-sahyog is a Pilot Project to provide an online mechanism to resolve mismatches in income Tax return without requiring taxpayers to attend the Income Tax Office.

How to view information and submit response

The taxpayers in whose cases mismatch has been found have been informed by SMS, e-mails and letters. The taxpayer needs to follow these three basic steps:

Step 1: Login to e-filing portal :  Login to e-filing portal at https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in and click on “My pending action”.

Step 2: View Information Mismatch : Mismatch Information summary can be viewed under eSahyog tab. Step 3: Submit online response :- Submit online response (Follow Step by Step Guide to eSahyog available on the e-filing portal).

The taxpayer just needs to visit the e-filing website and log in with their user-ID and password for the e-filing portal. On the home screen itself, the taxpayer will get the information about the Return Information Mismatch under the tab “My Pending Actions”. The taxpayer will be provided the information submitted by the taxpayer to the ITD in the Return of Income as well as the information received by the ITD from the third party. The taxpayer will be able to submit online response on the issue. Issue wise instructions are provided in Annexure 2. If the taxpayer needs any further clarification/information, query may be sent to esahyog@incometax.gov.in.

Processing of Response

The responses submitted online by the taxpayers will be processed and if the response and other information are found satisfactory as per automated closure rules, the issue will be closed. The taxpayer can check the updated status by logging in to the e-filing portal

The Government has taken steps to address the genuine problems being faced by the tax payers and to reduce the unnecessary harassment meted out to them by the tax authorities.

The Government has set up PAN camps at some selective remote areas in the country. These PAN Camps have been organized through PAN services providers NSDL e-Governance Infrastructure Limited (NDDL e-Gov) and UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Limited (UTIITSL).

NSDL e-Gov has organized PAN Camps at 23 locations across India in the months of October and November 2015. In these PAN camps, blank PAN forms have been made available alongwith instructions and guidelines for filling these forms. Duly filled-in forms along with prescribed documents are also collected in these camps.

UTIITSL has organized PAN camps at 30 locations across India in the months of October and November 2015. Organizing such camps is an ongoing process. The service providers will continue to hold more camps during the year to facilitate obtaining of PAN by persons residing in remote and semi urban areas.

PRESS RELEASE

New Delhi, 27th October, 2015

Subject:Finance Minister launches the“ e Sahyog ” pilot project of the Income-tax Department.

The Income-tax Department is committed to the ‘Digital India’ initiative of the Government of India.The Finance Minister today launched an “ e Sahyog ” pilot project which furthers the Department’s commitment to work in an e-environment and reduces the need for the taxpayer to physically appear before tax authorities.

The “ e Sahyog ” project launched on a pilot basis, is aimed at reducing compliance cost, especially for small taxpayers. The objective of “ e Sahyog ” is to provide an online mechanism to resolve mismatches in Income-tax returns to taxpayers whose returns have not been selected for scrutiny, without visiting the Income Tax Office. Under this initiative the Department will provide an end to end e-service using SMS, e-mails to inform the taxpayers of the mismatch. The taxpayer will simply need to visit the e-filing portal and log in with their user-ID and password to view mismatch related information and submit online response on the issue. The responses submitted online by the taxpayers will be processed and if the response and other information are found satisfactory as per automated closure rules, the issue will be closed. The taxpayer can check the updated status by logging in to the e-filing portal.

The Finance Minister also inaugurated a drive to provide public service by holding “special PAN camps in remote areas”. Under this drive, special PAN camps are being held over two days at forty- three remote semi urban and rural locations across India in the first instance to facilitate obtaining of PAN by persons residing in such areas. The Finance Minister interacted with applicants and officials at seven of these camps through a video conference. More such camps will be held through the year. The camps will ease the burden of compliance for persons residing in remote semi urban and rural areas who wish to enter into transactions of purchase or sale above rupees one lakh and will be required to quote PAN as announced in the Budget speech of 2015-16.

On this occasion, the Finance Minister stated that the objective of the Income Tax Department is to make life as easy as possible for the assessees and difficult only for those who consciously evade taxes. These digital initiatives will help in creating a positive environment. These initiatives of the Department are expected to significantly reduce the burden of compliance on taxpayers and enhance the taxpayer satisfaction.
