Proposal to exempt Salaried Class from filing Tax return

The Chairman of Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) which manages Income Tax Department in India has said that his department is likely to consider the proposal of exempting Salaried Tax Payers who have have no other income other than salary from filing Income Tax Returns.

If this proposal is considered in favour of Salaried Class, all employees including Cental Government Employees need not file any income tax return that has to be filed every year in the form of ITR-1 or ITR-2.

It is estmated that out of 35 Million Tax Payers in the country approximately half of them are salaried employees.

This change would also reduce the work burden of Income tax department.

The logic behind this proposal to exempt Salaried employees from filing tax retun is obviously the income details of salaried class is available with the employer as well as banks through which they receive their salary.

Sir/Madam,

I am directed to say that during the meeting of the Departmental Council (JCM) held on 27.08.2010 under the Chairpersonship of Secretary (Posts), an item regarding non-posting of women employees where basic amenities are not available was raised by the Staff side. The Staff side has stated that a number of Post Offices/RMS Offices are not having all the basic amenities and women employees are finding it difficult to work in such places. The staff side has, therefore, demanded that women employees should not be posted to such offices before ensuring basic amenities in such places.

2. It was informed to the staff side that Dte has issued instructions vide letter No. 137-12/98-SPB.II, dated 29.04.1998 to all Postal Circles advising them to avoid posting of ladies staff where basic amenities are not available in the office. It was decided in the meeting by the Chairperson that instructions on the subject be reiterated to all Heads of circles for strictly compliance.

3. In the Directorate’s letter No. 137-12/98-SPB.II, dated 29.04.1998, it was inter-alia advised to avoid posting women employees where there are no basic and essential amenities for women, Circles are, therefore, requested to scrupulously follow these instructions before women employees are posted/transferred from one work place to other. It may be ensure that women employee is transferred to an office only after ensuring that basic and essential amenities for women are available there. The Circles are also requested to identify these offices which are lacking basic amenities and take action for providing them immediately.
