NEW DELHI: While the previous governments had hesitated to touch the country’s taxation system, the current dispensation was making it more citizen centric, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday, urging people to pay their dues for the development of India.
Speaking at the Times Now Summit, he said the concern was that as some people always found ways to evade taxes, the honest got penalised.
“All governments hesitated to touch the tax system. Now, we are making it citizen centric.
“When a number of people do not pay tax, find ways to evade it, the burden falls on those who honestly pay their dues,” he said. (AGENCIES)
