New Delhi : The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has decided to allow exception from online filing of application under Section 197 and 206C (9) in the cases of NRIs and Resident Applicants.

Vide Notification dated October 25, 2018, Rule 28 of the Income Tax Rules, 1962, was amended to prescribe electronic filing of application for lower deduction or no deduction under section 197 of Income Tax Act 1961 using digital signature or EVC. Similar changes were also made in Rule 37G to prescribe electronic filing of application under section 206C (9) for lower or nil rate of tax collection at source (TCS).
