I-T dept to exhibit anti-black money drive in maiden R-Day tableau

January 22, 2018 21:21

For the first time, an Income Tax Department tableau will roll down the Rajpath during the Republic Day parade, showcasing its special anti-black money drive that was launched post demonetisation.

The tableau will depict the Operation Clean Money, its salient features and people's contribution towards the drive which was launched by the I-T department on January 31 last year.

"The tableau will showcase the OCM which is an initiative of the taxman against black money," a senior official said.

He said this will be the first time that the department's float will be a part of the Republic Day parade on the Rajpath, which witnesses representations from the armed forces besides various states and ministries.

Last year, the tableau of the Goods and Services Tax -- which was touted as India's biggest tax reform since Independence -- was part of the January 26 parade.
