CBDT raises alarm as FY19 direct tax collection falls short by 15%

29 Mar 2019 Evaluate

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has rung alarm bells and asked the Income Tax Department to go for a major assault as the direct tax collection target remains short of about 15 percent, as just few days left for the end of the financial year, i.e., March 31. As per to the internal estimate of the department, against the budget collection target of Rs 12,00,000 crore, only 85.1 percent of the target at Rs 10,21,251 crore has been collected as on March 23.

CBDT Member Neena Kumar has underlined the areas that are sluggish vis-a-vis direct tax collections obtained from personal, corporate and advance tax categories.  She also said that the minor head-wise analysis indicates worsening trend of negative growth in regular collections at (-) 6.9 percent as against (-) 5.2 percent in the last week. She also noted that this is an alarming situation which needs immediate attention.

Kumar further said “the CBDT has discussed strategies through various communications with you (senior officials) and it was expected that by this time your strategies would have succeeded resulting into improved collections. However, the figures of collection give a different account.” She also asked the department to take all possible actions urgently, especially with respect to recovery of arrear and current demand, so as to achieve the targets for collection.
