Ref: F.No. 380/1/2020-IT(B) dated 08-05-2020 on the subject Central Action Plan for the first quarter (April 2020-June 2020) of the F. Y. 2020-21

In this regard, I am directed to state that the as per the above referred letter it was mentioned that no communication is to be made with the assessee having adverse effect on him/her during the period till fresh guidelines are issued by the Board. The issue with regard to making communication with the assessee by the officers of Investigation and Central charges of the Income Tax Department has been considered. Accordingly, it is to state that henceforth such communications may be made by the officers of Investigation and Central charges of the Income Tax Department. This would be applicable for proceedings under the Income Tax Act, 1961; Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015; and Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act, 1988.

However, in view the hardships being faced by the taxpayers in coping with the challenges posed by COVID 19 pandemic, it is important that the concerned officers of the Income Tax Department recognize the same and are sensitive to it. Therefore, as far as possible, the communications should be made electronically and social distancing norms should be followed, without diluting the significance of the proceedings.

MARKETS REGULATOR AMENDS ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S POST:

MARKETS REGULATOR AMENDS ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S POST

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has amended the eligibility criteria for the post of executive director (ED), by restricting the position to internal candidates working only as legal professionals.

This means that candidates with a legal background cannot apply for ED positions that are vacant in the general stream.

The move comes ahead of the interview of internal candidates for the post of two EDs in the general stream, scheduled for August 13.

At present, at ED level, Sebi’s regulations don’t formally recognise any particular stream or specialisation.

Amending the Employees Service Regulations, the government in a gazette notification dated August 5 said, “Internal candidates from grade F of all streams, except the legal stream, with minimum three years of service in the said grade will be promoted.”

Under new rules, the legal stream has been excluded from the general stream. Those applying for ED (law) position will require the minimum qualification of LLB from a recognised university with a minimum of 20 years of post-qualification experience in law, the gazette notification says.

The issue was recently brought up by Sebi’s employee association following an advertisement for ED’s post.
