Use AI to check tax evasions: Andhra CM tells officials

Vijayawada, Apr 9 (UNI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday made it clear that all the revenue-generating wings should strive hard to increase the state's revenue and tax collections besides undertaking welfare and development programmes.

Besides discovering additional sources of income, steps should be taken to find out the reasons for low income and take necessary measures to ensure income growth, the Chief Minister said during a review meeting at the state Secretariat with officials of revenue generating departments. Naidu is very keen that the whole process, right from tax payments to issuing receipts and notices, should be done only online.
