MODEL QUESTION FOR IPO EXAMINATION - PAPER III
Central Government Employees to march to Parliament
CONSTITUTE 7TH PAY COMMISSION - Central staff to march to Parliament...
Central staff to march to Parliament
The
Confederation of Central Government Employees will take out a march to
Parliament on July 26, demanding constitution of the Seventh Pay
Commission and dismantling of the new pension scheme.
Talking
to reporters in Chennai, general secretary of the Confederation M.
Duraipandian said though the Centre had trumpeted that the Sixth Pay
Commission had increased the salary of the employees by 28 to 40 per
cent, increase in petrol prices and hike in the price of essential
commodities had proved that salary hike was not adequate.
“CONSTITUTE 7TH PAY COMMISSION”
“The
only way out is constitution of the Seventh Pay Commission. Many
private sector companies in Tamil Nadu revise the salaries of their
employees once in four months. In transport sector it is done in every
three years. The insurance sector has seen revision of pay nine times.
We need pay revision once in five years,” he said.
Bleak future
Mr.
Duraipandian said the new pension scheme was against the interest of
the employees as the government had plans to invest the money in the
share market and it would create bleak future.

Income Tax Department Starts Two More Taxpayer Friendly Initiatives : ‘Register for Home Visit’ and ‘Online Tax Help’
In order to make the Income Tax Return filing experience even more
convenient, the Income Tax Department has started two more taxpayer
friendly initiatives ‘Register for Home Visit’ and ‘Online Tax Help’. To
avail these facilities, a taxpayer must visit the website
www.trpscheme.com and take help of trained professionals either online
or at their homes. The taxpayer can choose between ‘online help’ or
‘home visit’.
On choosing the option of online tax help, the taxpayer can fill in his
tax related query along with his contact details. The online query will
be resolved by tax experts through Email or Phone within 24 hours.
The taxpayers who choose to register for home visit, will be asked to
indicate in short the help required by them and a convenient date and
time when the Tax Return Preparer (TRP) can visit them for assistance.
The help desk will forward the query of the taxpayer to the nearest
available TRP and fix the appointment telephonically. The TRP will then
visit the taxpayer and render assistance. The facility is aimed to
facilitate taxpayers in filing their return and thereby reducing their
cost of compliance. The TRPs are allowed to collect fee from the
taxpayers as per the TRP notification subject to a maximum of Rs. 250
per return preparation. The facility for home visit by TRPs has been
presently made available in few cities such as Bangalore, Chennai,
Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, New Delhi, and
Patna. The facility would be extended to more cities during the next
phase.
The TRP scheme call center 1800-10-23738 may be called for further information regarding these initiatives.
The Tax Return Preparer Scheme is an initiative of the Income Tax
Department to help small and marginal tax payers in filing of their
Income Tax Returns. This Scheme is applicable to individual and HUF tax
payers who can take assistance of TRPs in preparation and filing of
their Income Tax Returns. The TRPs are self employed graduates who are
trained by the Income Tax Department for filing of Income Tax Returns as
well as quarterly TDS statements. The TRPs are authorized to collect
nominal charges of Rs. 250 or less from the tax payers for preparing
their Income Tax Returns. The Department also pays incentive to the TRPs
for preparing of returns of tax payers which is a percentage of the
total tax paid as per the returns prepared by the TRP subject to a
maximum of Rs. 1000/-.
