<h1>CBDT Issues Instruction No. 1498 for Timely Resolution of Pending Search and Seizure Cases, Focus on Prosecutions</h1> The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) issued Instruction No. 1498 to all Commissioners of Income-tax, emphasizing the need for a time-bound program to resolve pending search and seizure cases. The Estimates Committee criticized the Income-tax Department for delays in investigations and prosecutions, which undermines the effectiveness of searches. The Board's action plan for 1982-83 includes disposing of pending assessments and improving investigation quality. The CBDT noted some progress in 1981-82 and aims for further improvement through special training courses. Assessing officers are advised to focus on prosecutable cases, and these instructions are to be communicated to all relevant parties.
