CBI has arrested an Income Tax Officer posted at Ward 20(1) (1) at Piramal Chambers, Lalbaug, Mumbai for demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs.75,000/- from the complainant.
It was alleged in the complaint that the accused served a show cause notice to the complainant U/s 271 (b) of the Income Tax Act. for not filing the Income Tax Returns for the Annual year 2001-2002 & 2002-2003. He demanded a bribe of Rs. 75,000/- for setting the issue by calling off the notice. The complainant did not want to pay bribe and lodged a complaint in CBI. The CBI laid a trap and the accused was caught red handed while demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs. 75,000/- from the complainant. During searches FDR/KVP around Rs. 30.18 lakhs and cash Rs. 25,000/- were recovered.
Almost all IT officers are corrupt and demand bribe even when they are unable to find anything in the file. It is shame on Income Tax Departement and all these goverment officers are bakasoors
‘THIS OFFICER DOES NOT DEMAND/ACCEPT BRIBES or, THIS HALL DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY STAFF WHO DO DEMANDS?ACCEPTS BRIBES.’
Great idea
not even 10% it would be rather less than 1%
Is there more than 10 per cent of officers of all ranks and all others dealing with IT department in other offices/organisations taken together who DOES NOT DEMAND AND TAKE BRIBES? This news is irrelevant and it does not amount even to a drop of water in the ocean. It would be rather better if outside every officer’s room/halls where staff sit (mostly as their superiors’ agents) a Board is put up declaring as under:THIS OFFICER DOES NOT DEMAND/ACCEPT BRIBES or, THIS HALL DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY STAFF WHO DO DEMANDS?ACCEPTS BRIBES.
Can the govt. showthis courage which is the basis of TRANSPARENCY?
