Kolkata-based entrepreneur, and angel investor launch Makeyourtax.com, a cloud based tax filing application
Less than 3 per cent of Indian population pays income tax. We missed our tax collection target by thousands of crores. While one can question the cumbersome process of paying income taxes, some see it as an opportunity. Some of the major issues are the confusions and over-lapping information about who shall file Income Tax Returns and what is the due date for filing those returns.
Alok Patnia founded Taxmantra in 2009 which is now an established and preferred destination for tax payments by many Indian startups. Alok along with Abhishek Rungta, founder of enterprise mobility solutions firm Indus Net Technologies, has launched Makeyourtax.com.
