CBDT functions in strange ways
While 100s of crores are locked up in appeal, and targets have been set up for CIT (A) ,a confidential circular has been issued by the CBDT that the CIT(Appeals ) who dispose of most number of cases should be kept under close watch from the vigilance angle. Result: Taxpayers will be harassed and result oriented officers will be demoralised. Is the FM listening?
Swamy Why the word `only'?
Government is giving only 40% of arrears this fiscal year and naturally you can't charge on more money. It will disburse balance 60% of arrears next year and it will be taxed in the next year. No need to sound any gratis or benefit in this whisper.

It helps me getting good information
I have been rading through your website for a long time now. It helps me in getting good information of corporates and media as well.
Would like to request you to mention about the bureaus or the indian branch if possible in the media movement or media development section. It would help in better understanding of the posted information.
Hope to get a lot more from your informative website.
