The Central Board of Direct Taxes
(CBDT) will soon offer this facility on a monthly basis.
"Tax payers will benefit if
they receive information through use of technology. So they can match the
office salary slip and the SMS and at the end of the fiscal he will be clear
about any possible tax dues," Jaitley told reporters here after launching
the SMS alert service.
The salaried class cannot afford to
pay tax twice or indulge in litigations, and so should be kept updated about their
TDS deductions, he added. The Total Investment & Insurance

"The CBDT will soon extend this
SMS facility to another 4.4 crore non-salaried taxpayers," a finance
ministry statement here said. The Total Investment & Insurance

"The frequency of SMS alerts
will be increased, once the process for filing TDS returns is streamlined to
receive such information on a real time basis," it added.
The CBDT further advised taxpayers
who wish to receive such SMS alerts to update their mobile numbers in their
e-filing account.The
