CBDT Notification No. 50/2024 Dated 6 June 2024
In a significant update, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued Notification No. 50/2024 on June 6, 2024. This notification revises the jurisdiction of the Directorate of Income Tax (Intelligence & Criminal Investigation) in Lucknow and Kanpur.
This latest amendment modifies the previous notification from December 2014. Specifically, it alters Schedule-II by removing the prior jurisdictional alignment with the Principal Chief Commissioner of Income-tax, UP (East), for regions within Uttar Pradesh under Sl. No. 9. Furthermore, it updates the entries for Sl. No. 10, now clearly defining the revenue districts under the jurisdiction of the DIT (Intelligence & Criminal Investigation) in Lucknow and Kanpur. The updated jurisdiction includes several districts within Uttar Pradesh and extends to the entire state of Uttarakhand.
Effective from June 6, 2024, this notification marks a crucial change in the administrative boundaries for tax investigation and intelligence operations in these regions. The redefined jurisdiction aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the DIT’s operations in Lucknow and Kanpur, ensuring better oversight and management of tax-related intelligence and criminal investigations.
