Budget 2007 – FM should plan for the next generation, not next FY - open letter to FM

By Vijay Kumar

Today we start our run-up to the Budget 2007 with an open letter to the FM by a former Member of the CBEC, Mr BV Kumar. Mr Kumar, now a practising advocate has been an illustrious member of the Board, the only revenue officer to appear in the cover page of the Illustrated Weekly of India. There is no post which he held, in which he had not left his stamp of excellence, be it the Collector, Gujarat, DG, DRI, DG, NACEN, or Member CBEC. He wants the FM to be above being a mere revenue minister.
