New Delhi: The
government Tuesday announced a new scheme under which any tax
payer can seek online help or call an expert home for a nominal
fee to help file income tax returns.
The expert, called Tax Return Preparer, can charge a maximum of
Rs.250 for preparing a tax return.
The new Tax Return Preparer Scheme is an initiative of the income
tax department to help small and marginal tax payers in filing
their returns, the finance ministry said in a statement.
"This scheme is applicable to individual and Hindu undivided
family (HUF) tax payers who can take assistance of Tax Return
Preparers (TRPs) in preparation and filing of their income tax
returns," it said.
The TRPs are self-employed graduates who are trained by the income
tax department for filing of tax returns as well as quarterly tax
deducted at source (TDS) statements.
"TRPs are authorised to collect a nominal charge of Rs.250 or less
from the tax payers for preparing their income tax returns," the
ministry said.
The income tax department also pays incentive to the TRPs for
preparing of returns, which is a percentage of the total tax paid
as per the returns prepared by the TRP and subject to a maximum of
Rs.1,000.
The home visit facility of TRPs has been made available in few
cities such as Bangalore, Chennai, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur,
Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, New Delhi and Patna.
It would be extended to more cities in the next phase, ministry
said.
The income tax department has launched a website, trpscheme.com,
on which the tax payers can put their requests for help. There are
two options -- one can choose between "online help" and "home
visit".
For online help, the taxpayer can fill in his tax related query
along with his contact details. The query will be answered by tax
experts through Email or phone within 24 hours.
A taxpayer who chooses to register for home visit will be asked to
indicate in short the help required and a convenient date and time
when the TRP can visit him/her for assistance. The visit is
arranged accordingly.

Believed to be built by Bibi Akbarabadi, one of the wives of then Mughal Emperor
Shah Jahan, the mosque is considered the twin of Fatehpuri Masjid
in Chandni Chowk. It is associated with the freedom movement of
1857 during which it was destroyed by the British.
Construction work was in progress after the discovery and
thousands of Muslim had offered Friday prayers on July 20,
2012. The Delhi High Court however handed over it to
archaeologists very next day. |
