Letter No. DGIT(L&R)/HC Appeal/Quarterly Report/2012-13/603
I am directed to invite your kind attention to para 15 of Instruction No. 7 of 2011 which is reproduced as under:
15. Monitoring Mechanism
 i.  The CCIT/CIT shall ensure due adherence to this instruction. In order to facilitate monitoring, a register shall be maintained in the office of CIT as per Annexure-IV to this Instruction.

The CCIT(CCA) in turn shall compile the report and send to the DGIT(L&R) in digital form by e-mail before the end of the month following each quarter. The DGIT(L&R) shall put up an analysis of such reports to the Member(A&J) with his comments.

The Finance Minister is likely to review this area of work shortly. The Board desires that the report for Q E 30/06/12, which is overdue, may be sent by 3rd Oct, 2012 to this Directorate. A soft copy mailed to e-mail address dgit.Ir@incometaxindia.gov.in.
