Vice-President urges the IRS fraternity to promote the spirit of economic nationalism

Jagdeep Dhankhar urged the IRS fraternity to be in an “overdrive mission mode to promote the spirit of economic nationalism in the country”. Underlining that avoidable imports were a heavy drain on India’s foreign exchange while also impacting employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, he stressed that ‘Vocal for Local’ and love for Swadeshi were the need of the hour, and must be accorded priority.

Addressing Officer Trainees of the 77th Batch of the Indian Revenue Service in the Parliament House Complex today, the Vice-President said that with a population of 1.4 billion, our tax collection potential remains largely untapped and emphasised the need for increasing the number of taxpayers, not through coercion, but through counselling and support.
