CBDT removes arrest, detention provisions from tax recovery rules
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has removed the arrest and detention provisions from the tax recovery rules. This affects taxpayers in recovery cases, and also valuers and authorised income-tax practitioners. So recovery action will not use those powers now, and these professionals get six more months, until March 31, 2027, to finish registration. Check your position and act early.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The CBDT has removed the arrest and detention provisions from the tax recovery rules.
- Valuers and authorised income-tax practitioners have been given six more months to complete their registration.
- Their extended registration deadline is March 31, 2027.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are a valuer or authorised income-tax practitioner, use the extra time to complete your registration well before March 31, 2027. If you have an open recovery matter, it may help to review your case status with a qualified tax professional.
