A delay in appointing members of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the apex body of the Income Tax Department, is puzzling the entire revenue service and tax bureaucracy.
The Board has four crucial vacancies, while its chief, P.C. Mody, and member, S.K. Gupta, are serving extended tenures.
Mr. Mody was given a three-month extension, effective March 1, 2021. Apart from being Chairman, he is holding additional charge as Member (Investigation) and Member (Administration), both crucial positions.
