The week-long Income Tax Fair 2017 held from November 1-7 drew huge response from the taxpayers and Income-tax related service seekers across the country with the introduction of Income tax cards for the first time in the history of the country, alongside the ‘Kar Bahadur Paribar’ honour to some 84 families.
