Special IT return receipt camp opens

A Special Return Receipt Camp (SRCC 2015) was organised today with an aim to help small tax payers with salary or pension income to file paper returns.
Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairperson Anita Kapur inaugurated the camp.
For assessment year 2015-16, e-filing of returns is mandatory for those whose total income exceeds Rs 5 lakh or if the return carries a claim for refund.
Paper returns in such cases will not be accepted, CBDT has clarified.
However, the income limit of Rs 5 lakh and claim of refund will not apply to taxpayers over the age of 80 years with a salary/pension income.

In such cases, paper returns will be accepted.
The camp has special facilitation counters for senior citizens and the differently-abled.
