The Story in Brief
The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has approved the appointment of three senior Indian Revenue Service officers as Members of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), ndtvprofit.com reports. Pallavi Agarwal, Sunil Kumar Singh and Vatsalaa Jha will join the top direct-tax policy body. The CBDT frames policies and handles enforcement for income-tax and wealth-tax laws. The new members bring decades of experience in tax administration.
The Indian Opinion
The three appointments are routine, but the bigger question is whether the CBDT will now move faster on pending income-tax appeals and faceless assessment backlogs. Numbers matter: the direct-tax-to-GDP ratio has stagnated near 6%. New members alone cannot fix structural drag. Watch if the Board brings out a clear plan for reducing litigation or if this remains just a shuffle of posts.
