Tax Revenue doubled under UPA Govt; New Building for Revenue – Rajaswa Bhavan

The acting FM Pranab Mukherjee while laying the foundation stone for the new building for the Revenue Headquarters in Delhi yesterday said that tax collection had doubled during the tenure of the UPA government. He was happy with the CBEC and CBDT which achieved these impressive collections at an extremely low cost of just half percent.

The Rajaswa Bhawan will be built on a 5.73 acre plot in New Delhi by DRDO keeping in mind the ethnicity of Lutyen Zone and will take about three years time when the Boards will move out of the North Block.
