New IT forms

New IT forms The Finance Ministry's decision to replace the one-page Saral income tax form with a complex four-page 2F form for filing returns is disappointing. Saral was simple and easy to handle. It involved less paper work for the department too. At least the Government should allow taxpayers whose income is less than Rs.5 lakh a year to use Saral forms.

It is obvious that the motive behind the introduction of the new form is to elicit detailed information from the assessees to harass them, and not to help them as claimed. Even a child knows filling up one page is much easier than four pages.
