  • In order to provide a transparent tax appellate mechanism, it is proposed to make the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal faceless and jurisdiction-less. 
  • A National Faceless Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Centre shall be established, wherein all communication between Tribunal and appellant shall be made electronically.
  • The faceless assessment system was launched to remove the need of the physical presence of the taxpayers in front of the tax officials.
  • Since the launch of faceless random assessment, over 50,000 disputes have been settled.
  • Income Tax appeals will be finalised in a faceless manner with the exception of appeals related to serious fraud, major tax evasion, search matters, international tax issues and matters pertaining to black money.
  • The effort is on to establish a National Faceless Income Tax Appellate Tribunal Centre that will offer personal hearings through video-conferencing.
