The apathy of a government institution can be judged from the fact that budget speech was not available on CBR website till 12 midnight on June 6/7, 2005. On the other hand, Central Board of Revenue had launched an advertisement campaign, particularly for information pertaining to federal budget (2005-06) initiatives from 9.00 am to 9.00 pm on June 6. But, there was no response from the ''''helpline 0800-227'''' given in the ad.
BR corespondent tried his level best to contact CBR officials on other telephone numbers given in the ad, but in vain. Nobody even bothered to receive the telephone call. The tax managers might have been overburdened by the Finance Bill exercise!
Let''''s hope and see that somebody is there to respond on Tuesday on the phone numbers given in the advertisement.
