Maintainance of diaries by stenographers of CsIT. - Income Tax - 1385/CBDT

INSTRUCTION NO. 1385/CBDT Dated: February 27, 1981 It is stated that chairman, CBDT has desired that in order to facilitate proper follow-up action on important communications emanating from the board and the directorates, the Stenographers working with commissioners of Income-tax/CSIT(Appeals) should maintain a diary regularly of all the letters received from the Board and the various directorates in the I.T.Department. It may be added that this practice is in vogue in the boards office for long. It is requested that also the stenographers working with CsIT/CsIT(Appeals) may be instructed suitably to maintain the diaries in the manner specified in the proforma. 2. These diaries should be submitted by the stenographers to the CsIT/CsIT(Appeals) every week on the last working day of the week. The Commissioner should scrutinise columns 6 to 9 of the diary to ensure that prompt and proper action has been taken on all communications where a report is due and wherever there is any deficiency, give appropriate directors for ensuring prompter action. 3. The commissioner should himself round off the serial numbers where he is satisfied, when the register is submitted to him at the week end, that the final report has been sent to the authority requiring such report. 4. Where any communication of the board/Directorate requires the submission of a periodical report such communication should be entered in the calendar of returns and such fact recorded in column 10 of the register. 5. The receipt of this communication may kindly be acknowledged. The action taken in this regard also may be intimated to the board at an early date.
