Collection, collation and dissemination of information by Central Information Branches.

Collection and dissemination of taxpayer information must be programmed and verified to enable revenue follow-up and coordination.

Central Information Branches must implement annual programmes to collect, collate and disseminate information from prescribed statements, returns and directories, and maintain lists of government disbursing officers to identify payment leads for assessing officers. Persons deducting tax at source and assessing officers must communicate and verify information directly with recipient Income-tax Officers, who are responsible for verification; Range Inspecting Assistant Commissioners will oversee compliance and maintain records of any revenue gain. Central Information Branches must keep complete output records, report on effectiveness, and coordinate administratively with Intelligence units.
