Message of Secretary Tax and Finance Piyush Kumar Choudhary Advocate

Jamshedpur। Serving as Secretary tax & finance, last two years have been quite eventful for me. We organised various seminars and workshops all throughout the period. Tax Clinics were organised on regular intervals. Meeting various authorities like Commissioners of State & Central GST, State Finance Minister Sri Rameshwar Oraon, Central minister of finance for states Sri Bhagwat Karad and strongly putting forward suggestions and grievances of Tax payers was the most important task which I did with all my capacity.

By the blessings of Mata Saraswati a lot of issues which we raised were well taken by the authorities. Some important issues for which we persistently made efforts and got result are as below:

1. Kar Samadhan Scheme for settlement of Pre GST litigations by State Government.

2. Various Amnesty Schemes for pending GST returns and Cancelled Registrations by Central Government.

3. Circular No. 183 which was issued by central Government to settle the mismatch issues of early years of GST implementation.

4. Formation of GST Tribunals all across the nation.

5. We strongly opposed about the harassment being faced by tax payers in the name BIFA reporting by Central GST authorities and succeeded in minimising the flood of notices which were blindly being issued by the department.

6. Extension of Jharkhand Kar Samadhan Scheme for the benefit of businessmen of the state.

Few important camps which we organised for the benefit of all:

1. Special 3 day camp for promotion of Kar Samadhan Scheme. State Government appreciated our efforts and thanked us for the success of 1st phase of Kar Samadhan Scheme as they fetched a revenue of whooping 250 crore from it.

2. Multiple camps for Professional Tax was organised in association with State Tax Authorities.

3. Special 10 days camp for PAN adhar linking and Income tax return filing.

We gave various representations for extension of time lines for various returns from time to time.

I had voluntarily taken up the responsibility of publishing Chamber’s first ever E-magzine “Chamber Times” and served as its editor during the period.

Many of the above points were in our resolution for which I worked with full honesty and transparency during the whole tenure.

Apart from the above, I was actively involved in various events such as inauguration of Past President’s Gallery, opposing Mandi Tax, opposing Sairat bazar rent hike, Chamber’s Souvenir work, various other camps etc.

I received full co-operation from all the Office Bearers during the period for which I am thankful to them. I have always believed in giving my best in whatever responsibility is given to me. I shall continue to do so in all my future roles as well.

Thanking all of you for your love and support at all times. I hope that once again you all will shower your blessings on me for the post of Secretary Tax & Finance, Singhbhum Chamber of Commerce & Industry !
