<http://www.forum4finance.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IT-Office-aaykar-bhawan.jpg>The Income Tax department is celebrating 150 years of income tax in India. The Governor General of India accorded to the bill levying the tax, introduced by James Wilson, the first Finance Member in Council, on 24th July 1860. The 150 years of income tax, spanning 3 centuries, have witnessed tremendous global changes. *The Income Tax department has traveled this journey by mobilizing resources, from a meager Rs.1.33 crore in 1860-61 to about Rs.380 thousand crore in 2009-10.* These revenues have constituted a vital component in the resources used by the Government of India to lift the people out of abject poverty, disease and misery and propel India into the frontiers of strong and self-reliant nations. In the 150th year, the Income Tax department rededicates itself to the people of India with the avowed objective of mobilizing optimum resources to build a modern, developed, vibrant and prosperous nation. At the close of the first decade of this century, the role of the Income Tax department has radically altered and needs redefining. The department needs to address the rising expectations of taxpayers through innovative use of technology and modern management skills to ensure equity, transparency and efficiency in delivery systems. The Citizen’s Charter 2007 has, accordingly, been revised and will be released by the Hon’ble Finance Minister in a function on 24th July 2010 at 3:30 PM, FICCI Auditorium, New Delhi. The Charter reflects the best endeavour of the Department and is expected to meet the aspirations of the people of India. A short documentary film on the journey of 150 years of income tax, anchored by actor Om Puri, will be shown and the third volume of the book “Let Us Share” will be released during the function. The soul of the country speaks through its art. On this historic occasion, an artists’ workshop was recently organized in Kolkata to ponder and reflect on creativity in the field of resource mobilization. Several eminent artists, including Dhiraj Chowdhury, Ganesh Haloi, Prakash Karmakar, Jogen Choudhury, Wasim Kapoor and Sunil Das joined artists in the Department, Bratati Mukherjee and Prasanna Kumar Dash, in bringing forth 40 paintings of outstanding quality. An exhibition of these paintings, along with other expressions of creative outpouring by personnel of the department, will be organized at AIFACS, New Delhi from 25th to 30th July 2010. The exhibition will be inaugurated by Smt. Suvra Mukherjee in the company of several other renowned artists of different parts of the country on 24th July at 6:30 PM. -- http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/aaykarbhavan/ http://groups.google.com/group/aaykarbhavan http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/It_law_reported/ http://groups-beta.google.com/group/fun-finder http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/le-vech/ http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/groups_master/ -- Receive free SMS of finance updates and alert at mobile Cost free ----- aaykarbhavan:News about the aykarbhavan http://labs.google.co.in/smschannels/subscribe/aaykarbhavan ----- Good and Clean funny, informative motivational SMSes http://labs.google.co.in/smschannels/subscribe/rajkumarsms ----- Gandinagar, News about Gandhinagar , Gujarat http://labs.google.co.in/smschannels/subscribe/Gandhinagar ****** Or Join it by sending SMS go to write messge in your mobile type "on aaykarbhavan" / "on rajkumarsms" and sen it to 9870807070 Me on net : > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> http://rajkumaratthenet.blogspot.com/ http://itronline.blogspot.com/ Virus Warning: Although the I have taken reasonable precautions to ensure no viruses are present in his email, sender (I) cannot accept responsibility for any loss or damage arising from the use of this email or attachment." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Skorydov MyTaxAssistant Member Group" group.
