Annual Budget 2014-15 - CBDT invites suggestions - by next year
WHILE the politicians are busy with elections, it is business as usual for the babus. The CBDT seems to be busy with the next budget and wants suggestions from the field officers.
In a letter to the Chief Commissioners, the Board has asked them to send suggestions/recommendations of the Field Officers for the Annual Budget 2014-15 which will be presented before the Parliament shortly after the General Elections.
Board wants the suggestions latest by 20.04.2015 and cautions that it would not be possible to examine the suggestions sent after 20.04.2015.
Perhaps what they mean is 20 th April 2014. But their unbridled enthusiasm and concern for the country's fiscals made them extend the submission date well after the presentation of the Annual Budget 2014 -15, which in all probability would be in the first week of July, 2014! This also reflects on the seriousness of the 'futile' exercise of seeking suggestions from the field.
