The monetary threshold for classification of a case of outstanding demand as a Dossier case has not been revised in last 30 years. It has been decided to raise the primary threshold for Dossier cases from Rs. 10 lakhs to Rs. 30 lakhs and re-adjust intermediate thresholds for focused monitoring and

rationalisation of the workload.

Accordingly, the CBDT vide Instruction No. 10/2015 [F. No. 404/02/2015-ITCC] dated 16/9/2015, gives the revised jurisdiction of Income Tax Authorities in respect of Dossier cases. One may refer to above citation for revised jurisdictions of respective monitoring authority. It has been decided to give a supervisory role in Dossier cases to the Pr. CCsIT as well for greater focus on the critical area of recovery of outstanding taxes.
