It is encouraging that the state has also been able to achieve a robust seven times growth in agriculture and four times growth in infrastructure development during the past five years while at the same time pushing down fiscal and revenue deficits within manageable limits even in the backdrop of a huge inherited debt burden of over Rs. 2.5 lakh crore. By further simplifying and relaxing tax rules and procedures, Dr Mitra expects to achieve better tax compliance and fiscal consolidation.
