IT men on strike – file your returns early
July 31 is the last day to file your IT return and this year it may not be extended. Don’t wait for the last day to file your return; you may not beat the deadline what with the income tax employees threatening to go strike. Their demands:-
1. Dropping the proposal to set up Large Taxpayer Units
2. Drop the department's decision to outsource income tax forms
3. Clear promotions.
Genuine Demand, May be! The employees plan not to work beyond office hours and not to work on 29th and 30th, which are holidays. Nearly 70% of the assessees file their return in the last week of July, and if employees don’t co operate, things can be really bad. Employees should realise that it is no more possible to blackmail the government; hey can as well outsource the job. And government should consider the employee grievance and should not drive them to the point of a strike.
