Addressing a function to mark the occasion, the Chief Minister said that this will go a long way in the implementation of e-governance in tax administration of the State. He said that full scale preparation is going on for introducing e-filing of return, e-registration, e-generation of statutory forms and e-refund through its own portal by the Commercial Tax Department in future.
Besides ushering in a businessfriendly environment in the commercial tax administration, this will ensure transparency and efficiency at all levels, he said, adding that e-governance initiative is being accorded utmost importance by all departments.
Finance Minister Prafulla Chandra Ghadei appreciated the joint efforts of the SBI and the Commercial Tax Department in introducing the system for the benefit of the taxpayers. He said that the taxpayers now will not have to go through the cumbersome process of depositing cash in a bank branch.
Principal secretary in the Finance Department Jugal Kishore Mohapatra said that commercial tax constitutes 60 per cent of the total revenue of the State and the e-payment facility will be extended to other revenue earning departments in phases.
An online live payment was demonstrated by SBI where Nalco and Sukam Power System Limited paid tax online and the e-challan printed on the spot was delivered to their representatives by the Chief Minister.
Among others, Chief Secretary TK Mishra, Commissioner of Commercial Taxes NK Dhal, Chief General Manager of SBI CH Narasimha Rao and BR Khairnar, principal accountant general, were present.
