In a major decision towards ensuring ease of doing business and resolving taxpayers' grievances, the Government on Wednesday issued orders promoting over 150 IRS officers as Income Tax Commissioners.
The much-awaited orders for a total of 153 Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officers were issued by the Finance Ministry keeping in mind a big cadre restructuring that has taken place in the I-T department recently which led to the creation of new posts.
“With no officers in place, the new posts were being held in an additional charge by others. The recently promoted Commissioners will now take charge and ensure faster work,” a senior I-T officer said.
