The Income Tax (I-T) department in India has introduced a new facility on its portal, enabling taxpayers with long-standing disputes over petty tax demands to check if these have been withdrawn. The move follows the Finance Minister's announcement to withdraw such demands dating back to the 1960s. The demands to be withdrawn include those less than INR 25,000 ($344) before 2009-10 and those less than INR 10,000 between 2010-11 and 2014-15. Taxpayers can access the waiver information through the I-T portal, but some doubts remain about the process and what to do if demands continue to be outstanding.
