The income-tax department will establish over 60 facilitation centres — Aaykar Seva Kendras (ASKs) — in FY17, from Goalpara in Assam to Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh, as part of its efforts to widen taxpayer base. The ASKs help a person in conducting personal
and business operation with the department, ranging from obtaining a new permanent account number to filing income tax returns. The Central Board of Direct Taxes has authorised creation of 65 such ASKs. - www.business-standard.com [29-06-2016]
