A consultative meeting of All India Milli Council, A.P. Branch was held under the Chairmanship of its Vice President Mr. Hyder Mohammed Ghori in which implications of Direct Tax Code bill were discussed.
Mr. Iqbal Ahmed Engineer, Secretary of All India Milli Council AP told that the draft of Direct Tax Bill should be communicated to public. Although, it is under the consideration of the standing committee of the Ministry of Finance, the chances of its presentation in the Parliament can’t be ignored.
This draft bill covers all the religious institutions, places of worship, voluntary organizations and non-commercial establishments. No tax will be levied on non-profit making organizations. If the beneficiaries of this act include SCs, STs, BCs, Women and Children , then only this code bill would be useful.
Mr. Alauddin Ansari, Joint Secretary stressed the need to publicize this bill. Mr. Ilyas Shamsi, member of Milli Council also supported the proposal.
