Monday, November 13, 2006:
New Delhi: NIIT has tied up with the department of income tax (DIT), ministry of finance, Government of India, to create trained and certified tax return preparers. The initiative, under DIT's Tax Return Preparer Scheme (TRPS), is aimed at raising the level of awareness and compliance amongst marginal tax payers, thus widening the base of income tax payers in the country.

|
Under this STE (Source-Train-Enable) programme, NIIT will test nearly 50,000 graduates across 100 locations, in the pilot phase. Of these, 5000 selected candidates will undergo a training programme on income tax filing procedures and MS Office, for familiarity with computers. The trained candidates will be referred to as `Certified Tax Return Preparers' and obtain a unique identification number from DIT. The tax return preparers are meant to file returns of income tax assessees in the lower income category.
Under the programme, NIIT will provide special training material on the subject, developed by Taxman, a publishing house dealing in tax-related matters. All such tax return preparers would have access to a Web-based knowledge portal, for any special support while filing the returns, throughout the year.
Elaborating on the new initiative, P. Rajendran, chief operating officer, NIIT, said, "By partnering with DIT for this unique initiative, NIIT will not only assist the Government in achieving its set goals in this domain but also provide a career opportunity for the large number of country's unemployed youth. Graduates in remote corners of the country now have a good opportunity to gain self-employment and work towards a better future.”
Graduates interested in this scheme can apply before 24th November, 2006 by visiting www.trpscheme.com.
