<h1>Revenue Secretary Launches NeAC for Faceless e-Assessment, Boosting Tax Transparency and Efficiency Nationwide.</h1> The Revenue Secretary inaugurated the National e-Assessment Centre (NeAC) to implement faceless e-assessment for income tax payers, enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accountability. This initiative eliminates physical interaction between taxpayers and officers, aligning with the Digital India vision and promoting ease of doing business. Initially, 58,322 cases for the 2018-19 assessment year were selected for scrutiny. Taxpayers are notified electronically and must respond within 15 days. NeAC, based in Delhi, with eight regional centers, will manage assessments through automated systems, aiming for improved assessment quality and expedited case resolution. This system reduces taxpayer anxiety and compliance costs.
