The Income Tax department has decided to set up special Tax Kiosks in residential areas and localities for facilitating a host of taxpayer related services in big cities. The initiative has been taken in view of the forthcoming tax returns filing season. It will ensure that the taxpayers are not required to travel to I-T offices or other special camps for performing tasks like filing of returns, tracking refunds and applying for fresh PAN cards. The department has also decided to run and station Mobile Vans in smaller cities, manned by I-T trained personnel. These vans would help taxpayers perform their tasks in view of the July 31 deadline of filing I-T returns.
