Sir,
Refer news item “DoP follows different yardsticks..” Daily Excelsior 12
It is appreciated that the Daily Excelsior through its correspondent Nishikant Khajuria has raised an important issue that has been hurting the subscribers of Postal Life Insurance in Jammu. The 10.5 percent Service Tax which is levied from subscribers is a great injustice with them. The issue had been brought in the notice of the concerned authorities a number of times, but they did not bother to redress it to the satisfaction of subscribers. Now, when it has come to light that this tax is levied from the people of Jammu only, and not from the people of Kashmir valley it has caused great resentment among them. This discriminatory attitude of the Postal authorities is quite disturbing and condemnable. You can’t have different yardsticks for different regions of the State.
It is quite strange that the employees who want to save for the rainy day, and want handsome returns on the saved money have to shell service Tax which goes into Government coffers. This in no way is justice with people.
The Postal Department is requested to withdraw Service Tax levied harshly from people.
Yours etc….
