1. About e-Sahyog
1.1 Overview
Income Tax Department (ITD) has launched a new initiative
e-Sahyog with a view to reduce compliance cost, especally for small taxpayers.
This initiative s 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 Annexure 1.
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.
