How is the e-Verification Scheme different from scrutiny assessments/reassessments?

Ans. This is primarily a preliminary verification based on the information received by the IT Dept from various reporting entities. No order is required to be passed in this case because this is not a notice for assessment or reassessment. This is only for verification. Once information is verified as correctly reflected in ITR, further steps may not be taken by the Income Tax Department with reference to the specific information verified. If information is not included in the return of income, then the taxpayer can update the tax return as mentioned above.
