Paying income tax is going to be a burden on Durga Puja organisers: Mamata Banerjee
Kolkata, Aug 11 (UNI) Taking strong exception to the Income Tax department's move of issuing notices to several Durga Puja committees and asking them to pay taxes, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday said it will be a burden on the organisers.
The Income Tax Dept has issued notices to many committees who organize Durga pujos, asking them to pay taxes. We are proud of all our national festivals 1/3

These festivals are for all and we do not want any pujo festival to be taxed. This will be a burden on the organizers. #Bangla govt withdrew tax, which was earlier there, on Ganga Sagar Mela. We protest and demand ‘no taxation on Durga pujo and Durga pujo committees ’. (2/3)
