FM Sitharaman Urges Tax Officers: Build Trust on Income Tax Day

Imagine the Income Tax Department is like a school principal, and taxpayers are like students.

The Finance Minister, like the boss of the school, told the staff (tax officers) that the rules (policies) are good, but they need to make sure they follow them well and be fair, so people trust them.

She praised the use of computers to make things easier but said being fair is most important.

She also honored the people working on making new tax rules, which is like writing new school rules that are easier to understand.

The main goal is to make sure everyone trusts the tax system, so everyone feels like they are being treated fairly.
