Income Tax - Public Grievances - Be careful, PM is watching - Chairperson alerts PCCs
THE status of pending public grievances with the Income Tax Department was reviewed by the Prime Ministeron 25 th March through video-conferencing with Revenue Secretary and the Chairperson of CBDT. During the meeting, the PM expressed dissatisfaction about delays in responding to public grievances by IT Officers as well as about the harassment meted out to the taxpayers and officious behaviour of the Income Tax Officers.
The Chairperson tells the Principal Chief Commissioners that the PM was assured that redressal of public grievances is one of the priority areas of the Income Tax Department.
In view of the above assurance and the fact that the PM will be personally monitoring status of public grievances on a monthly basis, she exhorts the PCCs to ensure that redressal of public grievances must take utmost priority in their work plan.
She hopes their efforts in this regard will help her to report a much better position of disposal of public grievances in the next meeting with the PM.
Babus should realise that now there is a Prime Minister who is going to keenly watch them - better behave.
