The department has also published statistics filed by taxpayers in their return of income for Assessment year 2012-13.
It also discloses the Permanent Account Number (PAN) allocation across various categories and gender by the end of 2013-14 fiscal.
“A total of 84 page data has been released and put in the public domain for the first time. A number of economists and researchers had demanded that such data should be made available publicly and hence it has been uploaded on the official web portal of the department,” a senior official said. #casansaar (PTI - Financial Express)
