The Income Tax Department has notified three official e-mail ids on Saturday for lodging complaints. This has been done to improve the experience of taxpayers under faceless assessment.
The Income Tax Department on Saturday notified three official email IDs for taxpayers to file complaints under the ‘faceless’ or e-assessment scheme. Under the e-assessment scheme, there is no face-to-face between the taxpayer and the tax officer.
The department put out a message on its official Twitter page saying, “With a view to further improve the taxpayer services in line with the Taxpayers’ Charter, the Income Tax Department has launched a dedicated faceless scheme for filing complaints in respect of pending cases.” E-mail ID has been created.’ The department said that complaints can be filed under three different email IDs created for this purpose.

Under the faceless assessment system, the taxpayer does not need to visit the office of the department or meet any officer of the department for income tax related works. A central electronic-based system will accomplish this task. This scheme was launched by the central government in 2019.
