Resolution no:2. The house demands to withdraw, the proposal in ‘Direct Tax code-2009’ to exclude tax benefits of salaried class like HBA, Tax on PF withdrawal, pensionery benefits.
This resolution is an important one (after the 6th pay commission)which other All India Central Unions had failed to take up, when the TAX CODE was released. This is the difference between AISMA & others. I wish AISMA to follow this resolution in a serious manner since it (new TAX CODE) nullifies the benefits of 6th PC.
