Taxation Travails
While posts on WhatsApp would have us believe that taxpayers, who are allegedly in a minuscule minority, are a muchharassed lot, the Government pushes a diametrically opposite narrative viz.
Haryana Chief Minister, Manohar Lal Khattar, on Monday urged the Central government to allocate Rs 5000 crore in the Union Budget 2021-2022 for execution of various important projects in the state.
The Haryana CM made this request while participating in a pre-budget meeting held by Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman through video conferencing.
During the meeting, Khattar apprised the finance minister about the financial requirements for various important projects of Haryana.
