Enhancement of OLTAS- Allowing Inspectors of field formations to claim outstation challan lying in suspense at other RCCs/CC - matter regarding-.
OLTAS INSTRUCTION NO. 39
Dated: 09.09.2009
Since inception of OLTAS ie. June'2004, challan/refund data is digitized and transmitted by designated banks to TIN, which in turn is routed to RCCs/CC for further processing by Assessing Officers.
2. It is observed from analysis of suspense data of RCCs/CC that a large number of outstation challans are lying in suspense at RCCs where payment has been made. The reason behind such outstation suspense payments could be that PAN/TAN is wrong or invalid or under de-duplication process. Under the above scenario the system is not able to allocate PAN_RCC_CODE /AO_CODE for such payments and hence data is not routed to PAN/TAN RCCs/CC for assessment or for reflection in OLTAS 31 collection reports.
3. In order to resolve the above problem it has been decided to provide a facility to allow outstation suspense cases to be claimed for giving credit to genuine taxpayers. The salient feature of the utility is as follows :
5. It is requested to bring these changes to the notice of all users under your RCC / Computer Centre.
Yours faithfully,
Encl : As above.
