Jammu and Kashmir government will computerise the commercial taxes department by the month of October this year at a cost of about Rs 28 crore.

The computerisation work of the commercial taxes department, which is a centrally sponsored, is scheduled to be completed by October this year at a cost of about Rs 28 crore, Minister for Finance and Ladakh affairs, Abdul Rahim Rather said.

Rather was on a surprise inspection of the Excise and Commercial Taxes Complex Jammu to take stock of the working conditions on Saturday.

"The computerisation of Commercial Tax department would bring more transparency in the working of the department besides bringing accuracy in accounting and saving precious time," Rather said.

He added that computerisation would also minimise direct interface between traders and employees there by reducing the chances of corruption.

He also said that the Excise and Commercial Taxes Complex Jammu shall be made fully air conditioned to provide improved working conditions to the employees as well as the traders community.

During his inspection, the minister said, "There is need to maximise the recovery of revenue so that targets fixed are achieved well in time."
