The CBDT has issued a stern directive to the taxman to ensure that targets related to inspection and vigilance in the I-T department are completed on time as there has been a shortfall of about 70% in these initiatives in the last few years. A communication in this regard has been issued by new CBDT Chairman Sushil Chandra to all the regional I-T chiefs recently. He added the initiatives in this regard in the tax department have not been up to the mark in the recent past as "inspections and reviews are important preventive vigilance functions and periodical inspections of the work of a subordinate can give timely alerts about any wrongdoing by officers." "I request you to give your immediate attention to this area and ensure that the targets and timelines in this regard are strictly adhered to," he wrote. Chandra also invited suggestions from the field formations to enhance vigilance measures in the department.
