The Income Tax Department has launched a new feature that allows taxpayers to file rectification applications for specific income tax orders directly online with the relevant authority. Prior to this feature, taxpayers had to apply for rectification manually or send it through the Assessing Officer (AO). This was a time-consuming and cumbersome process.
This update means that taxpayers can now directly apply digitally for correction of orders containing errors (such as calculation errors, incorrect interest calculations, discrepancies in figures, or other clerical mistakes). These include:
- Transfer Pricing (TP) Orders
- Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP) Guidelines
- Revision Orders (such as orders passed under Sections 263 or 264)
This change expedites and enhances transparency by enabling end-to-end digital filing of rectification requests, reducing the reliance on physical submissions. This new feature will significantly benefit taxpayers by providing a simple and technology-based system for rectification.
