In order to prevent any loss in recovering taxes from transport corporations of other states and to avoid any technical anomalies in the data, the transport department will adopt a new working plan.
After the stringent directions of transport secretary Ranjit Sinha last week, the officials of transport offices have been calculating collected tax revenue and tax arrears on the buses of other transport corporations. The regional transport officer (administration) Dinesh Chandra Pathoi disclosed that various reports and figures are being analysed by the officials to determine the tax situation of the department. He said that on the basis of data provided by the transport corporation, the officials found out that many corporations from other states are yet to pay taxes to the department here. He said that the department is working to recover the tax arrears in other states. He also revealed that some vehicles are also operating from multiple depots instead of only one and many are entering into the state through different routes which is also affecting tax collection records.
Besides this, many vehicles listed in the corporation’s record are registered as bikes, trucks, ambulances among other vehicles rather than buses possibly due to a technical error, informed Pathoi. He said that the department will soon adopt a new working plan to prevent such discrepancies and revenue loss to the state.
