How to use new electronic system to resolve Income Tax disputes

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has launched the e-Dispute Resolution Scheme (e-DRS) for taxpayers to resolve matters related to Income Tax assessments. The scheme was notified in 2022 and will minimise litigation and provide a more efficient resolution mechanism.

Key features of the e-DRS

The e-DRS system enables taxpayers to electronically submit applications for dispute resolution to the Dispute Resolution Committees (DRCs) in 18 jurisdictions across India.
