The Chief Commissioner of Income Tax, or Director General of Income Tax is a senior rank in the Income Tax Department in India. [citation needed]
Appointment[edit]
They are chosen from the Indian Revenue Service and typically serve the government for a period of 30 years. [citation needed] After cadre restructuring, a new designation is created. The Principal Chief Commissioner of Income Tax and senior-most Chief Commissioners of Income Tax are promoted into this grade and have additional responsibilities as per personnel and budgetary targets are concerned. [citation needed] Their equivalent rank at the Union Secretariat is that of a Special Secretary. [citation needed]
Duties[edit]
Chief Commissioners are in charge of operations of the department within a region, [citation needed] which is usually overlapping with the territory of a state. [citation needed] Depending on the region, their numbers vary from 16 (in Maharashtra) to 3 (in Karnataka). [citation needed] Chief Commissioners are allotted budgetary targets for collection by the Central Board of Direct Taxes and the targets are divided among the Commissioners of Income Tax and are constantly monitored.[citation needed]
Other Chief Commissioners[edit]
There are other Chief Commissioners who are not cadre controlling and are placed above the rank of Union Additional Secretary in the HAG plus scale. [citation needed] The junior-most Chief Commissioners are now of the rank of Union Additional Secretary. [citation needed] Thus, the Chief Commissioners of Income Tax draw three different pay scales based on their seniority.
