Officials said the orders have been issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the apex policy making body of the I-T department, as part of the annual general transfers in the department.
"The orders were cleared by the Finance Ministry and have been notified now," a senior official said.
The latest orders include officers in the rank of Principal Commissioners of I-T and Commissioners of I-T.
The department is mandated to collect a variety of taxes like Personal Income Tax, Corporate Tax and Wealth Tax under the direct taxes regime.
