Rs. 150 Coin to Celebrate 150 Years of Income Tax
UNDER the Coinage Act, the Government has decided to bring out two coins of the denomination of Rs. 150 and Rs.5 . The coins will carry the portrait of Chanakya and will have the words “INCOME TAX – 150 YEARS OF BUILDING INDIA "and its translation in Hindi. CBDT Member Durgesh Shankar says, “This is an unprecedented development in the history of the Income Tax Department and a crowning glory to its celebration of 150 years. "Member wants the information to be uploaded on the Department's web site and the Chairman has approved it. But getting information uploaded on a departmental website is not an easy task – not even for the CBDT Chairman. And the website is silent about this great unprecedented historical event!
