"OVERVIEW OF DIRECT TAXES: ROLE, STATUTE AND

ADMINISTRATION"
A Programme held from 30th November to 4th December, 2009

For Officer-Trainees of the

Indian Audit & Accounts Service

Indian Railway Accounts Service

The NADT warmly welcomes all officer-participants to "OVERVIEW OF

DIRECT TAXES: ROLE, STATUTE AND ADMINISTRATION"! We are
happy about this opportunity to host this and are leaving nothing to chance
in ensuring that your stay and other arrangements made are rewarding and
stimulating. Please let us know by calling Extension No. 250 if anything is
amiss or additionally required.

This Programme is one of the chief highlights of the “Outreach’ In-Service

Courses conducted each year by the Academy for officers from other
enforcement/allied/sister departments and services. The principal
objectives behind these exercises are to:

1. Enhance awareness about the goals, ambit and operations of the Direct
Taxes regime in India
2. Disseminate updated information and impart skills in various topical
areas such as:
a. Investigating Financial and Accounting Crimes including the use of
Information Technology in conducting these; and,
b. Analyzing the various national and international Legal Principles
and Accounting and other Standards involved in Capturing,
Assessing and Taxing Income/Wealth.

Also, in recent times, the strategic vision of the Department has

pronouncedly shifted towards a combination of the earlier enforcement-
orientation and a more visible service-orientation. The assessee is no
longer considered a pure adversary, for genuine and committed taxpayers
are the engines of our economy and important clients of our Department.
In Risk management parlance, Tax Revenue Maximization under
uncertainty is to be combined with Assessee Distress Minimization.
The Department is also passing through changing times and is both a
driver and a driven. On the visible horizon of the momentum that it has
gained and is gaining – in its enforcement and service practices – is the
rainbow of success, satisfaction and recognition. The Programme aims to
provide its participants a more-than-brief glimpse through the window that
the IRS sees to the future.

The Course is slated to occupy a timeframe of 5 days from 30th November

to 4th December, 2009 and will be inaugurated by Shri M. Tirumala
Kumar, Addl. Director General – I, NADT, Nagpur between 1030 AM to
