This resulted in better attendance and conserved our resources. A Two day specialized course on Quality Assessment was conducted for the Assessing Officers at Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Amritsar on various dates. The specific trades relating to that area were identified and lectures were delivered on those topics. Besides, technical issues/ procedures to be followed for framing quality assessments were also discussed so that an
assessment order could stand the test of appeal. The area-specific topics for assessment covered while training at doorsteps were:- 1. LUDHAINA:- Real Estate, Steel Industry, Hotel Industry, Hoisery. The CCIT, Ludhiana issued a letter of commendation for the same. 2. JALANDHAR:- Real Estate, Manufacturing of pipe fittings, Flour Mills and Rice Shellers, Nursing Homes and Doctors, Sports Goods 3. AMRITSAR:- Brick Kilns, Processing of Cloth Industry, Joint Venture in Contractual Cases, Manufacturing of Machines. ii) 4 days specialized course for the Investigation Wing A 4 days specialized course for all Officers of Investigation Wing, Delhi was conducted at Delhi w.e.f. 4 th June to 8 th June, 2012 on the request of Sh. K.V. Chowdary, DGIT(Inv.), Delhi. Eminent in-house speakers from all over the country were invited. The topics covered were Analysis of Tally accounts, Working of Cyber Forensic Lab including Detection of hidden entries and deleted material from computers and other devices, preparation of case for search/survey, Role of Inspectors in Search, Citizen Charter on taxpayers, Legal provisions regarding search and survey and Discussion on ITDMS. Lectures on ERP system were arranged for two days for which NIIT Faculty was invited. Our efforts were much appreciated by the DGIT. iii) One day workshop on Streamlining Procedure and Improving Quality of Appeals to be filed for the Commissioners(Administrative) A one day workshop was conducted for all the Administrative Commissioners posted at Delhi alongwith ITOs (Judicial) on Streamlining Procedure and Improving Quality of Appeals to be filed at Delhi on 29.01.2013. This being a niche course for us, the feedback has always been excellent. iv) One day training course for Addl./Jt./DDIT/ACIT posted in Central Charge Delhi At the request of CCIT (Central), a one day training course was conducted on 3.8.2012 at Delhi for Officers of Central Charge Delhi. The issues discussed were framing of assessment
in Search and Seizure Cases, Analysis of judicial decisions on Search and seizure Assessments and Handling of Digital Evidence. v) On the Job Training of Officers of 65 th Batch of IRS 17 Officers Trainees of 65 th batch of IRS underwent their On Job Training in two phases from 07.05.2012 to 18.05.2012 and from 22.10.2012 to 7.12 2012. The Officer Trainees had a fruitful OJT with them not only getting a feel of the Department but also understanding its organization and functions. To familiarize the officers with the functioning of the Mufassil Charge, the officer trainees were taken to Parwanoo Income Tax Office where they juxtaposed natural sightseeing alongwith learning. For the outbound activity on the weekend, the officer trainees went to Amritsar where they visited places of historical importance like the Wagah Border, Jalianwala Bagh, the Golden Temple and the Durgiana Temple etc. The officer trainees also had the privilege of calling on His Excellency Sh. Shivraj Patil, Governor, Punjab. The Governor spent more than two hours with the Probationers wherein he interacted on a one to one basis with the Officers trainees. Sh. Patil was extremely satisfied and duly impressed by their outlook on life. 5.3 Making training a wholesome experience. This year the emphasis had been on long term courses leading to imparting of core technical skills to our officers/officials. During this year, 9 long term courses for ITOs and Inspectors of North West Region and Delhi Region were conducted which included 40 days Induction Course for newly promoted ITOs, 60 days Induction Course for newly recruited Inspectors and 10 days induction course for Newly Promoted Inspectors. It may be mentioned here that 100% ITOs and Inspectors promoted in F.Y. 2011-12 have been trained. No officer promoted in the year 2011-13 has been left out for training. The Induction Course for newly promoted ITOs was conducted in two batches, one from 9.4.2012 to 1.6.2012 and the other from 26.06.2012 to 23.08.2012. During this year, efforts were made to make the training a wholesome experience for newly promoted ITOs and Inspectors, to enable them to work in
the field. To improve the content of training a few initiatives were taken by RTI, Chandigarh, which are as under:- 1. Conduct of written examinations 2. Attachment with ITAT 3. Industrial Attachment at Amritsar and Baddi 4. Printing of Magzine Uddan by ITOs- Encouraging creativity an initiative. 5. Power Point Presentations by participants 6. Public Speaking presentation 7. Attachment of ITOs with Pegasus, Dehradun 8. Lectures in each course on Ethics and Values 9. Lectures in each course on Stress Management 10. Attachment of ITIs with Investigation Wing An objective type question paper was given to the ITOs. The ITOs were attached with the ITAT where they witnessed the proceedings first hand and interacted with the Hon ble members. Similarly, to widen their horizons and to give them a feel of a different training environment, they were attached with Pegasus Dehradun where they were given inputs in Leadership and Management. For the Inspector s courses we have introduced concepts like evaluation in the beginning and the end of the course and the module was executed keeping in mind their all round development. This included cultural programmes, public speaking, personality development etc. The content of the course was so designed that they got a lot of inputs to prepare for the Departmental Exams. It is heartening to note that 70% of the Inspectors who attended the course organized by DTRTI Chandigarh cleared the departmental inspectors exams whereas the national average of pass percentage remained at 23%. 5.4 A New Lecture Hall for RTI DTRTI Chandigarh was functioning with only one lecture hall with capacity of 50 seats. In the current year we have successfully modified our computer-lab in another building into another 50 seater lecture hall. This has helped us to carry out simultaneous courses.
6. Working Constraints Our biggest constraint is manpower. As against the sanctioned strength of 32, we are only an 11 member team. The non availability of a hostel is an impediment. Given the overall shortages in the Department we have put all our energies into the working of the Institute successfully. Team DTRTI, Chandigarh shall strive to keep up the momentum and continue reaching new milestones in the training sector.
