The Income Tax department has issued guidelines for selecting tax returns for scrutiny in the financial year 2024-25, offering clarity on potential triggers. Scrutiny selection relies on Computer Assisted Scrutiny Selection (CASS), flagging returns for possible tax evasion based on risk parameters like high refunds, disproportionate expenses, and international transactions. Manual scrutiny parameters include discrepancies found during surveys, non-response to notices, and search and seizure operations. New rules emphasize transparency, with digital platforms like the National Faceless Assessment Centre (NaFAC) facilitating the process.
