New Delhi dated 28th May 2010

FM to dedicate IT Department’s CPC at Bengaluru to the Nation
  
The Union Finance Minister, Shri Pranab Mukherjee, will dedicate
the Centralized Processing Center of the Income Tax department at Bengaluru to the nation on 29th May 2010.

The Income Tax department has set up the Centralized Processing
Center (CPC) at Bengarulu for bulk processing of income tax returns. The CPC will process all electronic tax returns of the entire country, and physical returns of Karnataka and Goa regions. It is equipped with a dedicated call center, where taxpayers can enquire about the status of their returns and refunds, and also has a remote record storage unit, which would reduce congestion in the IT offices.

The CPC is a flagship e-governance project of the Government of
India. It promises to significantly improve delivery of citizen-centric services in line with best international practices.
