Tax officials are facing a taxing issue. Modi govt wants them to collect 17% more in direct taxes this year as Delhi seeks to shore up revenues amidst a sharp economic slowdown. They also warned officers not to harass businesses in their drive to collect revenue. The tax officials are now stuck to meet unrealistic collection targets which affect their appraisals & transfers. 22 top tax officers opted for voluntary retirement.
