New Delhi: 31/05/2016

Chief Minister of Delhi, Shri Arvind Kejriwal today launched the DVAT MSewa App giving opportunity to the Businessmen to get themselves registered directly on the Mobile Phone. Launching the unique App, Shri Kejriwal said that his government is committed to the welfare of traders, in providing opportunity and in promoting ease of doing business and resolution of their problems has been our top priority. He said that we are committed to facilitate the people with the use of modern technologies and also to make them the part of the governance. He said that Traders contribute immensely to the development of Delhi by collecting VAT from consumers and depositing it every month with the Government.

The Chief Minister said the VAT accounts for 2/3rd of the total revenue of Delhi Government. Last year, record VAT collection of Rs 20,501 crores was achieved. General tax rate in Delhi is less than the neighboring States. The general VAT rate in UP is 14.5% , in Haryana it is 13.5% while it is 12.5% in Delhi. General VAT rate is applicable on most of the goods. The VAT rates on many commodities have been reduced in last one year. Tax rate on Wood &Timber, steel etc was reduced from 12.5% to 5% in the budget of 2015-16. In the budget of 2016-17 tax on marble, watches, readymade garments, shoes, school bags, mithai and namkeen has also been reduced from 12.5% to 5%.

Shri Kejriwal said that as promised, we are continuously demolishing the Inspector Raj and eradicating Corruption in various government departments. In the last one year, a number of steps have been taken to end inspector raj, made doing business a pleasant experience and resolved problems faced by the trader community.

He said that for getting registered the business, an inspector was required to go and verify the address of the business and it take a lot of time and the traders felt harassed. Now, by launching this App, any businessmen can register himself with the VAT Department without any difficulty and harassment. Apart from above, the department can also check the addresses of the bogus firms and can find out the details of numerous firms running at single address.

Shri Kejriwal said that the Trade and Tax Department has launched a number of schemes such as Bill Banvao Inam Pao and Market Association reward Scheme to increase the revenue of the Government.
