Money & Banking - Budget
`Focus on tax compliance welcome'

Chennai, Feb. 29

Once the source of funds for the loan write-offs becomes clear, the impact on banking sector might not be so severe", says Mr Gaurang Shah, Managing Director, Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life Insurance Ltd. The other proposals which may seem negative for the market at first glance - like the hike in short term capital gains - will be accepted without much ado by market players. "A great positive is that the government is focusing more on tax compliance than increasing tax rates. Using PAN is an effective tool in this regard," he said. - Our Bureau
