“The level of performance in this critical result area of the department’s work is completely non-acceptable. Three quarters of the financial year are already over and not even 50 per cent of the target has been achieved which itself was fixed at a fraction of the total arrears outstanding,” CBDT Chairman Sushil Chandra wrote in a recent communication to all his regional heads.
Chandra asked the top brass of the department on ground to “take all measures for stepping up cash collection out of arrears as well as current demand so that not only the target set in this regard is met but significant contribution is also made towards achievement of the overall budget target of the regions (across the country)”.
The CBDT boss has also sought collection of all due recoveries from all the regions that will boost the overall tax collection at the end of the current financial year on March 31 next year. #casansaar (PTI)
