The protest has turned into a positive one, as the income tax officers all over the nation worked on Sundays to keep their demands over the fair share in the administration of taxes under the upcoming GST scheme. All India Confederation of Commercial Taxes Association (AICCTA), declares that around 36,000 Gazetted officers and about two lakh employees of Class-III and IV categories were present on Sunday to show their protest in a positive manner.
Uttarakhand Commercial Tax Service Association president Yashpal Singh, who is also head of the NCR chapter of AICCTA, said that “a considerable number of employees across at least 15 states came to work today while details from other states were also pouring in.” While in another statement, of association it said that “the move is part of continued protest of states commercial tax departments under AICCTA for their just rights in the GST regime, and its members will also go on day-long “pen down strike” on November 23 if their demands are not accepted by the government.”
The sole motive intent here is to showcase their right demands for administration and as cleared by the officials that the association is neither against GST nor against state governments but they simply want to keep their demands in front of the central government.
