Computerization: Execution Phases ( 95 - 05)


In 1993, Government constituted a Working Group to suggest a Comprehensive Computerization Plan

NCC at Delhi & RCCs at Delhi, Mumbai & Chennai Offices linked to respective RCC through dedicated leased lines RCCs linked to NCC through dedicated leased lines

Key Recommendations: Layered Approach Phased Implementation

2-tier Client-Server application software implemented at these RCCs

NCC brought under the administrative control of DIT(S)


Computerization Plan extended to additional 33 centres (RCCs) with application rollout 10

3-Tier ITD Application Architecture

In a three-tier architecture, the data and applications are split onto separate servers, with the server-side distributed between a database server and an application server. The client is a front end, simply requesting and displaying data. The application server is capable of replying all queries relating to application and it will hit database only for database queries/insertions hence this system is faster than 2-Tier.

Three Tier Architecture


User interface/presentation tier, functional process logic and data storage are independent of each other and are on separate platform. the three-tier architecture is intended to allow any of the three tiers to be upgraded or replaced independently as requirements or technology change.
National Academy of Direct taxes, NADT

About ITD Application


ITD Application is deployed on 3-Tier Architecture which works on in Web environment. Application is presently using Oracle Forms 10g/Reports 10g, Oracle Application Server 10g and Oracle 10g Database. (Earlier development was on Oracle Forms 4.5/Reports 2.5, Oracle Application Server 7 and Oracle 7 Database , which has been upgraded to newer versions). Computers are connected through network to Primary Data Centre (PDC) at Delhi and Business Continuity Plan Centre (BCP) at Mumbai.

Different layers
The user interface runs on a desktop PC and uses a standard graphical user interface (GUI), Functional process logic may consist of one or more separate modules running on a workstation or application server, the middle tier may be multi-tiered itself An RDBMS on a database server or mainframe contains the computer data storage logic.

Advantages of a three-tier architecture It is easier to modify or replace any tier without affecting the other tiers. Separating the application and database functionality means better load balancing. Adequate security policies can be enforced within the server tiers without hindering the clients

Data Replication & Disaster Recovery Planning (S.I.)


A full-fledged Business Continuity (BCP) Site has been established at Mumbai. The BCP site is an exact replica of the Primary site. The Department has also set up a Disaster Recovery (DR) Site at Chennai, which will act as a data store. The DR site is not expected to have ability to run applications, but will have a exact copy of the data as that of the Primary site. The data will be replicated from the Primary site to the BCP and DR sites on a regular basis.
