President Murmu urges Revenue Officers to ensure tax collection is smooth, transparent

President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday said that the tax collection should be a smooth process with minimum discomfort to the taxpayer.

Addressing the officer trainees of the Indian Revenue Service (Customs and Indirect Taxes), who had called on the President at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, she asked them to create systems that are transparent, accountable, and



technology-driven.

Murmu said the collection of revenue is critical for nation-building. “This is the revenue that funds infrastructure, education, health, and social welfare. 

You are, therefore, active participants in India’s nation-building process. But, the tax collection should be a smooth process with minimum discomfort to the taxpayer,” the President said.
