The big myth on tax payers in India Data from a Chartered Accountants group
Mr Jetly said during his budget speech that we are largely a tax compliant society and presented that only  crores are  filling ITRs in this poor country with  crore population 

The reply by CAs  

Sir 
We have  crore voters 

  are agriculturists  crores  You exempted them directly but they can also buy cars  bunglows etc as you quoted your political counterparts are also enjoying this 

Balance
 crores 

Less  BPL class  Below poverty line

 crore population  which is non agriculturist and non BPL  

Less  Senior Citizens Non working wives unemployed youths below taxable income earnerspolitical classsay   in a typical indian family only  earning member and  are dependent on him

Balance  crores is the earning class  which can file ITRs and  they are already filling it 

 so almost no gap as Mr Jetly is stressing unnecessarily without knowing his country

if Looser Jetly wants more peoples to come into tax net then instead foolishly resorting to only rampant raids surveysnotices scrutiny  demonetisations etc etc terrorism  he should defy his negative bureaucrats and 

 Introduce simple Income Tax on Agricultural Income on large landlords  Say  Acres plus   you can add  of Agriculturists as tax payers  Politicians are also enjoying this 

 Instead of introducing  penalties on late filers of IT return 
Come out with positive approach and introduce incentives to IT return filers  learn from Pakistan IT assessee gets discount in purchase of Car 

 Introduce Privilege card to  those paying taxes above certain limit privilege card to entitle assessee with benefits like Priority quota in railway tickets  Use of airport lounges subsidised medical facilities etc etc let Tax payers feel proud

 Introduce medical insurance  life insurance on basis of average ITR filled like coverage upto twice of Gross Income in ITR filled for mediclaim and ten times risk cover in case of life insurance 

 Introduce Pension after  yrs of age on the basis of tax paid by tax payer during his working life

Let honest taxpayers get certain direct benefits 

As on today  of Indian population is filling ITRs as compared to  of Chinaadding large agriculturists to Income Tax may shoot the figure to more than   it may help you to cool your tax terrorism mindset and a tax compliant nation 
LETS SPREAD THIS TO HONEST TAX PAYERS
