Lahiri Committee in TIOL House

NETIZENS are aware that the Government had appointed a High Level Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. Ashok Lahiri, former Chief Economic Advisor to ascertain where clarity in tax laws is required and to recommend measures to the Government in this regard.

The Committee with Dr.Lahiri and other Members, Mr.Sidhartha Pradhan, former Member of Income Tax Settlement Commission, Mr.Gautam Ray, former Chief Commissioner in CBEC along with Mr. B K Sinha, CIT in CBDT visited TIOL House on Saturday to get the views from the TIOL family. The response from our Netizens to send suggestions for the Committee was humungous.

The Committee evinced keen interest in knowing the views of our Netizens and the TIOL team explained the issues precisely. TIOL was represented by its entire Edit Team and it was an exhilarating experience for us.

Let us hope the Committee will be able to solve some of the problems and reduce the agony of the taxpayers.

TIOL is grateful to the Netizens for the huge response. Now send in your suggestions for the BUDGET 2015.
