FAQ :
Dr. Arunish Chawla, a 1992 Bihar cadre IAS officer and economist, has assumed the role of Revenue Secretary.
His immediate challenges include overseeing budget deliberations for the Union Budget 2025-26, particularly the proposed Direct Tax Code, and the rationalisation of GST rates and slabs.
The Direct Tax Code aims to simplify tax laws, reduce compliance burdens for individuals and corporates, and minimise litigation.
A pressing task is the rationalisation of GST rates and slabs, a decision that was deferred in the recent GST Council meeting and awaits recommendations from a Group of Ministers.
Dr. Chawla holds a Master's and Doctorate from the London School of Economics and has held previous roles such as Secretary in the Department of Pharmaceuticals and Senior Economist at the IMF.
