Sitharaman also advised chiefs of PSBs to look into the need for capacity building and entrepreneurship development, as SCs constitute about 18 per cent of the total workforce of banks and financial institutions.
Meanwhile, at the Finance Minister’s Award ceremony for CBDT officers, she said that direct tax collections are sustaining momentum due to better compliance thanks to the efforts of revenue officers and use of technology. FE
