ITO to ACIT promotion : Date of DPC to be decided soon

It is learnt from reliable source that date for DPC is likely to be decided soon and announced in the next week. Details are not yet available.

Direct Tax collection likely to miss target this year.

With the direct tax collection growing at a slower pace of 9% this fiscal so far, the government is likely to miss the revenue mop up target for the 2011-12.

According to the data released by the Finance Ministry, the net direct tax mop-up during the April-January period rose 9.28% to Rs 3.46 lakh crore mainly on account higher realisation of personal income tax and corporate tax.

The government, however, may miss the full year direct tax collection target of Rs 5.32 lakh crore which envisaged a growth of 19% over the last year.
