Taxmen seek manpower, perks to mobilise Rs 25,000 cr extra revenue
Taxmen will mobilise an additional Rs 25,000 crore revenues each year in case government approves hiring 20,000 personnel afresh and recast existing pay and promotions structure for revenue officials to bring them on par with administrative, forest and foreign services.
The annual additional pay burden on the government due to this restructuring of income tax department would be Rs 400 crore that would be less than 2 percent of extra revenues to be mobilised.
Top taxation officials and chief commissioners of income tax will moot this proposal before finance minister Palaniappan Chidambaram when they meet him on Monday(03/09/2012).
