(b) The Faceless System is in respect of assessment, penalty and appeals to bring greater efficiency, transparency and accountability in tax administration process. It has eliminated the physical interface between the tax officer and the assessee in the course of proceedings by leveraging technology. All communications between the taxpayer and the tax authorities take place either through a dedicated e-filing portal or electronic means, ensuring a paperless and efficient process. Personal hearing through video conferencing (VC) is an integral part of this system.

(c) Grievances pertaining to handling of faceless processes are received through various channels including CPGRAMS and designated email ids

faceless.samadhan.assessment[at]incometax.gov.in,
faceless.samadhan.penalty[at]incometax.gov.in,
faceless.samadhan.appeals[at]incometax.gov.in, dak/emails etc.

The grievances are handled by a dedicated team of officers and are monitored to ensure that these are resolved in an effective and timely manner. Regular analysis of grievances is done to identify the issues and to address such issues in a time-bound and systematic manner. Systemic improvements are carried out wherever required to minimize the grievances of taxpayers.
