Renowned industrialists from time to time have aired their opinion about the harassment by tax officials. Mohandas Pai , a former director at Infosys Ltd, has said that tax officials who have to meet their annual tax collection targets put pressure on companies to pay up even if they do not concur with the amounts demanded, which leads to litigation. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, chairperson and managing director and founder of biopharmaceuticals firm Biocon Ltd, told The Telegraph in an article published on Sunday that “a government official" called her recently and told her not to speak about issues such as ‘income tax harassment’.
