Strict rules: No subsidized gas to higher income groups
Reportedly, the Central government is planning to make the rules stricter to pull off the higher income groups, from availing the benefit of subsidized cooking gas cylinders.
Regarding this, the income tax department is planning to share with the petroleum and oil ministry, details of all “individual” taxpayers whose annual income exceeds Rs10 lakhs.
Adding to it, the IT department will also share the personal details of a taxpayer like his or her permanent account number (PAN), date of birth, gender, all available addresses in the I-T database, email id and the residential phone and mobile numbers.
At present, all households are entitled to 12 cylinders of 14.2-kg each at subsidized rates. The government has already asked well-off people to voluntarily give up using subsidized LPG and instead buy cooking fuel at market price.
