Reward scheme for informers extended to tax recovery cases; informers and officers may receive discretionary rewards subject to conditions. Extension of the reward scheme allows payment to informers who provide actionable intelligence on defaulters' assets and to government servants whose efforts result in recovery. Rewards require Chief Commissioner satisfaction that departmental tracing efforts were exhausted and that the information led to recovery. The reward may be up to 5% of the amount recovered, determined by the information's nature, accuracy and efficacy. Informer-initiated cases draw from the informer reward pool under existing policy. Officers may receive rewards for extraordinary post-adjudication recoveries subject to Reward Committee approval and applicable upper limits for post-investigation work.
