Imphal, November 09 2022:
Chief minister N Biren Singh on Wednesday launched a month-long statewide professional tax enrolment drive at CM secretariat, here.
Chief secretary Dr Rajesh Kumar, commissioner (taxes) Mercina R Panmei and officials of taxation department attended the launch programme among others.
The programme was also attended by officials of district administration of different districts, Autonomous District Councils, Urban Local Bodies and other concerned officials through video conferencing.
Interacting with the officials, N Biren appreciated the officials for their coordination and hard work towards ensuring smooth running of the government.
He said that the state managed to overcome COVID-19 pandemic through joint efforts of the officials.
While maintaining that the state is marching ahead towards development, the chief minister said diplomats from different foreign countries had shown their interest to visit the state and it is a sign of development.
He also stressed the need for mobilization of funds and resources for state's further development.
The state takes assistance from the Centre for infrastructure development works but it has not been able to provide its share for funding the same due to less revenue generation.
As such, the state needs to enhance its revenue generations, he added.
The enrolment drive will cover all kinds of professions, established trades and employment of all individuals who earn a living through any medium.
During the launch programme, a new application developed by National Informatics Centre (NIC) to facilitate on-line enrolment was also rolled out.
The application can be accessed on https://professionaltax.mn.gov.in/.
The initiative has been taken up to ease doing of business and improving tax administration and compliance.
