BRS working president KT Rama Rao raised an alarm over the Centre’s proposed new Income Tax Bill, calling it a serious threat to digital privacy. He demanded answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on
the sweeping powers being granted to I-T officials.
In a strongly worded statement, Rama Rao condemned the provisions of the new Bill, which indicate an alarming overreach by the government under the pretext of tax enforcement.
