In a faceless assessment of Raman Traders, the assessment unit needs a valuation of a property held by the assessee. Under Rule 176, what is the correct route for obtaining this?

The assessment unit must make a request through the National Faceless Assessment Centre for technical assistance on valuation of property. The Centre then assigns it to a technical unit through an automated allocation system. Direct contact or personal appearance is not part of the faceless procedure.
