Every Nepali should be serious about making the economy stronger, said Finance Minister Surendra Pandey. He said this while distributing PAN card, an unique identification number that identifies each taxpayer uniquely, to high-level government officials, police officers and media persons at Dharan today.
The government will make PAN card essential for all government employees, he said, adding that those failing to climb aboard the PAN card bandwagon will not receive their salary. "We are bringing in a policy that bars government officials, who do not obtain PAN card, from receiving allowances they get while participating in various seminars organised at the government and non-government levels," he said. Saying that only 20 per cent population of the country is paying tax, minister Pandey said the government is trying to bring every Nepali in the tax net.
