Respect Taxpayers as you would your parents – CBDT Chairman tells newly inducted IRS Officers
CBDT Chairman Sudhir Chandra while delivering the valedictory address at the passing out ceremony of the 63 rd batch of Indian Revenue Service, on Monday at NADT, Nagpur, urged the new Income Tax Assistant Commissioners to treat the taxpayer with the same concern and respect with which he or she would wish their parents to be treated. He emphasized the need for fairness and transparency in public administration.
The 63 rd batch of IRS consisted of 120 officers from 23 States with 2 Ph.Ds and a medical doctor. During the training, the probationers had foreign excursions to countries like Australia, Malaysia, Netherlands and South Africa.
The function had a distinguished guest – Union Minister of State for Railways, KH Muniappa, not in his official capacity, but as a parent of an outgoing officer.
