I-T notices to those who have filed returns

The transition of Indian tax administration to a digitised and faceless assessment system, introduced in 2019 by the Narendra Modi government, represented a ground-breaking move toward providing a non-intrusive, non-adversarial tax ecosystem. Spearheaded by the National e-Assessment Centre (NeAC), faceless tax assessments were meant to eliminate human interaction, reduce bias, and improve transparency and efficiency in tax administration. The system promised timely case disposal, team-based assessments, and the standardisation of procedures, offering a streamlined and fairer approach for taxpayers across the country.
