Question

Which is career prospects of income tax inspector?

Answer 1

Answer:

Promotional aspects of income tax Inspector (ITI) are very good. It is considered 2nd best post among all the cgl post in terms of promotion. If one join as an income tax Inspector may reach up to additional commissioner of income tax.

Once you join ITI, you have to clear Departmental Exam for becoming ITO(Income Tax Officer). once you clear exams, you become eligible to be considered for ITO.

It take time to get promoted to ITO and it differs from state to state… In states like Kerla, ITIs have become ITO within 4 years, in other states, it may take 5 to 7 years But generally it takes 6-8 years to become an ITO from ITI.

After becoming ITO, it is a long wait of around 10-12 years to become ACIT(Assisstant Commisioner of Income Tax) and then around 4 years to DC(Deputy Commissioner) then 4 years to JC(Joint Commissioner) and around 5 years to Addl. CIT(Additional Commissioner of Income Tax).

A direct recruit Inspector generally ends his successful career as JC/Addl.CIT.

without clearing the ITO departmental exam, one can’t be promoted to ITO and will have to remain as Inspector for the whole career. But for a Direct Inspector, clearing the departmental exam is not an issue. It is just like university exams. Not too tough to go through it all yet you need to put your attempts and give time to study.

If it comes to me income tax Inspector is the best among all cgl post. Here promotion is better and the chances of getting home or near by posting are very good.
