Government on Saturday announced that new Income Tax Return (ITR) Forms that require disclosure of details regarding bank accounts and foreign trips undertaken by an individual will be reconsidered, a move that comes after criticism from tax experts and others.
It will come out with simplified ITR forms, it was officially announced. "The Finance Minister has called me from Washington and said the whole matter related to new ITR form will be reconsidered. The government will simplify the ITR form," Revenue Secretary Shaktikanta Das told PTI.
He said this decision comes in the wake of difficulties expressed by various sections and tax experts on the new ITR forms relation to financial year 2014-15. There has been criticism of the new forms with experts and consultants saying government was seeking too much data. They felt that the addition of new information would make process of filing returns difficult.
