Finance Minister Budget

Finance Minister budget speech on 28th February completely failed in respect of increasing tax base of the people whose taxable income is more than 1 crore. Neither the number has gone up nor there is roadmap to increase the numbers or tax base. Simply a surcharge of 2% has been added. This is not expected from FM. He should present a roadmap for increasing the tax base of people having income more than 1 crore.Whole energy and man power of income tax is used in chasing the cases of small tax payers i.e. up 20 lakhs whose number is large and IT department get lost in sending notices etc. They are not coming out any innovative ideas to increase tax base of this category people. Even data base is not being made keeping this requirement in view. Any data base is made, it starts from Rs. 50,000/ and when it reaches 20 lakhs, they are tired. If someone invested Rs. 50000/ in MF, then IT department will say we have information that you have not filed IT return but not setting lower threshold as 20 lakhs and go upwards to track the cases for higher income group. At least earlier FM PC read out figure of 42800 as number whose taxable income more than 1 crore but he also failed to increase tax base of this category and way forward to track.

Officers may get regular promotions and appointments
First of all, I would like to thank to all P.As. who have been covered for PS in Select List 2013 (Extended. Secondly, I would like to humbly request that owing to the fact that we are in 2015 and have already completed more than six years from 2008 Select List required for becoming eligible for promotion as PS, it would be appreciated if the DoP&T may take necessary steps to extend the Zone for Consideration to cover up to Select List 2008. It would be a great sigh of relief for the promotees in 2008 Select List who had to wait for considerable longer period of more than 10 years and rendered service for more than uninterrupted continued 10 years service on ad-hoc basis and are at the verge of retirement. If it is agreed to, the officers may get promotions and appointments on regular basis and get NSG before retirement.

Permission for interview
This refers to the mystery of permission granted to the foreigner to conduct interview of culprit in jail and the subsequent justified furor. News reports have said that the matter did not even go to the Minister and was dealt with by a Jt. Secretary (now Principal Secretary) whose name has already come up. As such, the concerned joint secretary who has signed the permission must be forthwith taken disciplinary action against. He will then reveal who really asked him to approve the request. We must set accountability. This govt. must not make any attempt to shield the individual who has brought shame to the country.
