<h1>CBDT Circular Tightens Rules on ITCCs: ITOs Must Verify Tax Compliance and Prevent Improper Issuance of Certificates.</h1> The circular from the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) addresses the issuance of Income Tax Clearance Certificates (ITCCs) by Income Tax Officers (ITOs). It highlights instances where certificates were improperly issued to assessees not entitled to them, often due to a lack of understanding of the certificate's scope. The circular mandates that ITOs ensure assessees have fulfilled all tax obligations and cooperated with the department. It introduces changes requiring ITOs to verify the completeness of information about the assessee's interests, ensure tax returns are filed, and confirm payment of tax demands. Assessees using legal means to obstruct proceedings should not receive certificates.
