Government's resolve to provide maximumgovernance with minimum Government. He saidthat every rule, law and policy are made with anemphasis of them being people centric, publicfriendly rather than power centric. He said thatthe use of the new governance model is yieldinggood results. The Prime Minister said that anatmosphere is being created where primacy isbeing given to duty to execute all works. This isthe result not because of force and fear ofpunishment but because of an understanding ofthe holistic approach that is being adopted. Hesaid the reforms being launched by theGovernment are not in piecemeal but those aimedat delivering results with holistic perspective. The Prime Minister said the country's taxstructure needed fundamental reforms as theearlier tax structure was developed from the onecreated during pre-independent times. Even theseveral changes made during the post-independent times did not alter its fundamentalcharacter, he said. The Prime Minister said thatthe complexity of the earlier system made itdifficult to conform. He said that simplified lawsand procedures make it easy to comply. One suchexample is the GST, he said, which replaceddozens of taxes. The Prime Minister said that the latest lawsreduced the legal burden in the tax system wherenow the limit of filing cases in the High Courthas been fixed at up to 1 crore rupees and up to2 crores for filing in the Supreme Court. Initiativeslike the 'Vivaad Se Vishwas' Scheme pave the wayfor most of the cases to be settled out of court. Prime Minister said that the tax slabs have alsobeen rationalised as a part of the ongoing reformswhere there is zero tax upto an income of 5 lakhrupees, while the tax rate has reduced in theremaining slabs too. He said India is one of thecountries with lowest Corporate Tax in the World.The PM said the ongoing reforms aim at makingthe tax system Seamless, Painless, Faceless. Hesaid the Seamless system works to resolve theproblems of a taxpayer instead of entangling himfurther. By being Painless he said, everything fromtechnology to rules should be simple. Referring tothe Faceless system he said there is no need for adirect contact between the Taxpayer and the IncomeTax Officer in all matters of scrutiny, notice, surveyor assessment. Referring to the launch of Taxpayers Charter,the Prime Minister said that it is a significant stepwhere the taxpayer is now assured of fair, courteousand rational behavior. He said the charter takescare of maintaining the dignity and sensitivity ofthe taxpayer and that is based on a trust factor andthat the assessee cannot be merely doubted withouta basis. Referring to the reduction of the scrutinyof the cases by at least four times in the last sixyears from 0.94% in 2012-13 to 0.26% in 2018-19,Prime Minister said this itself is a reflection of thetrust that the Government is laying on thereturnees. He said in the last 6 years, India hasseen a new model of governance evolving in taxadministration. Amidst all these efforts, he said thenumber of people filing income tax returns hasincreased by about 2.5 crores in the last 6-7years.The Prime Minister however said that it canalso not be denied that only 1.5 Crore people paythe taxes in a country of 130 crores. Shri Modiurged people to introspect themselves and comeforward to pay the taxes due. The Prime Minister said this would help in themaking of a Self - Reliant India, AatmaNirbharBharat.
