CPC stands for Central Processing Centre, a part of India's Income Tax Department. It is primarily responsible for processing income tax returns (ITRs) and conducting initial assessments. The CPC uses technology to automatically process returns and issue notices without human intervention, making the process faster and more efficient. Taxpayers receive intimation notices from CPC that detail the outcome of the processing, including any tax liability, refund, or discrepancies found in the tax return filed.
