Section 285BA w.e.f 01/04/2004 Under the existing procedure, the Central Information Branch (CIB) collects information relating to financial transactions from various sources. Information is also received through the statement submitted under Rule 114D from persons who enter into transactions in relation to which Permanent Account Number is to be compulsorily quoted. It has been noticed that there are several hurdles in the collection of information by the CIB, and often the coverage of sources is incomplete. In view of the above factors, it has been proposed to provide a mechanism wherein the flow of information regarding the material financial transactions entered into by a taxpayer with other persons is automatic so that the same can be utilised for widening and deepening of the tax base. It is proposed to insert a new section 285BA to provide that any assessee, who enters into any financial transaction, as may be prescribed, with any other person, shall furnish, within the prescribed time, an annual information return in such form and manner, as may be prescribed, in respect of such financial transactions entered into by him during any previous year.
