Two Revenue Boards Annual Conference on June 16
Let PM remind the 2 boards - CBEC/CBDT- to first finalize their transfers. Despite annual ritual it is unduly delayed every year for some reason or the other. The Finance Minister has become toothless in forcing the Boards to fallow the policy formulated by themselves. The Boards have become Bombay/ Delhi centric. As somebody rightly pointed in the `WHISPERS` there is hardly much time left for the FM to achieve targets- i.e. nine months only.

Rajasva Gyan Sangam Conference
A Conference titled Rajasva Gyan Sangam is scheduled to be held on June 16 & 17, 2016. As per media, the Conference will be inaugurated by none other than PM of India with a theme "taxing with Love". The Conference will be attended by Ministers, Senior Bureaucrats of Finance, CBDT, CBEC and many more. Let this conference take challenge apart from traditional things like about developing tax friendly environment and finding out the real numbers of people earning more than 1 crore. Start counting from 99 onwards instead of starting from 1. Filter out people less than 1 crore earning and concentrate on above this limit. It is not easy task. It requires innovative methods apart from traditional methods. Spur the innovation rather than traditional approach. It is estimated as per some debate this figure will be about 0.5 % of total population so a system to scan only 1% is required. Data may be developed like people having cars costing 50 lakhs and above (may be some other threshold). If we start counting people having cars from Maruti 800 onwards and thinking it will cover everyone one, it will be of no use in identification of the people of HNI (more than 1 crore income). This is good opportunity to go thru this challenge and see result after one year to know the success of proposed system. Whether we are moving in right direction or requires some changes. Secondly, low income group people may not be aware of various income tax rules and do not have capacity to hire CAs whereas high income group can easily hire CAs and give work to resolve any tax disputes. Let IT officials deal with polite and softness to clear the doubt of small tax payers. We need this environment for better tax compliance and results without troubling taxpayers. There may be some mistake but to be taken in positive way to deal with matter. Small tax payers and Sr, citizens without any regular income are our own people and to be dealt with care like physically challenged persons. As their children may be far away in prevailing nuclear society. Help them rather than troubling. Tax terrorism should not find a place in our society as debated in media. Hon,ble PM of India has seized of the matter and Conference is very timely and wish all success "Taxing with Love".
