Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled faceless tax scrutiny and appeal and urged people to pay their taxes and contribute to nation building.

Launching the platform 'Transparent Taxation – Honoring the Honest', PM Modi said faceless appeals will begin across the country from September 25.

Asking people to pay taxes due to them, Modi said while it is the responsibility of tax officers to deal with taxpayers with dignity, people should also consider paying taxes as their responsibility.
