Mr Thatai was felicitated by the president of the Jammu Chamber, Rakesh Gupta on the occasion. While speaking Gupta appreciated the efforts made by Mr Thatai for making the several changes in the working of the Income Tax Department and converting it into a corporate office. It was during his tenure that a separate Income Tax Officer Colony was developed and completed which has been inaugurated recently.
