The government can reduce tax rates further if the number of taxpayers keeps on increasing at the same pace in the coming years.

In an interview to All India Radio, CBDT Chairman, Sushil Chandra said, the major focus of the government is the welfare of taxpayers. He added tax evaders will not be spared.

Mr. Chandra added that the E-assessment programme has been expanded to 300 cities which is adding new taxpayers from B & C cities. Assesses can file replies online, which is an achievement for CBDT.
