Change is inevitable


Change is inevitable and if it is surrounded by positive vibe of ideas and values then it transforms into pride. Pride to do so.
There is huge difference between NDA & UPA working environment and most noticeable transformation is in thinking British Raj style to Bharatiyata i.e. don't expect respect instead earn it by working innovatively.

Above all, there is willingness to work hard. It's only due to one person our Prime Minister. The crystal thought of our Prime Minister to bring-out reflection from your hard work & feel proud about your great nation. Jai Hind.

CBDT: New Data Mining tool

A very good step by CBDT about new data mining tool which can access PAN based information but CBDT is still far far away to bring the people who do not file returns and not indicate PAN for transactions like traders or anybody who do cash transactions and do not show their credentials. CBDT is not able to think out of box to bring such people in tax net. It requires clear vision and innovative method to do the job. Any how this move is good to start.

Small quantum appeals

While it is welcome that high value cases are given priority for disposal of appeal by the IT departrment, it should not be forgotten that equity mandate that even small quantum appeals should not be allowed to be languished. Any appeal pending for over one year deserves priority irrespective of quantum.

Know the basics


How can an officer of Railway Medical Health Services be considered for posting as GMs. Do they, know the basics of wagon, engines, coaches, bogies, couplers, railway track, planning and operations? They have a post of Director, General Health Services equivalent to that of Secretary and they should be satisfied with that.

DATE WITH RTI

The Appellant had a marital dispute with his wife, who worked in the bank as an officer. He had been filing a number of RTI applications, repeatedly seeking information on various issues related to the said bank officer. The Appellant sought the copies of educational certificates of the bank officer claiming that the qualification of his wife has been mentioned as B.Sc, while she did not study science beyond class 10. The PIO denied the same under section 8 (1) (j) of the RTI Act claiming that it was personal information. The CIC referred to the observation of the Apex Court in the Central Board of Secondary Education & Anr. Vs. Aditya Bandopadhyay & Ors."…… if on the request of the employer or official superior or the head of a department, an employee furnishes his personal details and information, to be retained in confidence, the employer, the official superior or departmental head is expected to hold such personal information in confidence as a fiduciary, to be made use of or disclosed only if the employee's conduct or acts are found to be prejudicial to the employer."The CIC upheld the rejection of request for information.

Comments

Many government officials face applications seeking their details of loans taken, marital status, PAN number, income tax details, copies of form 16, details of movable and immovable assets and details of gifts etc. Such harassment of honest officials is not the objective of the RTI Act.
