    "It is a pleasant coincidence that the idea of Taxpayer's Lounge was conceptualized and brought to life by Sh. Ravi Agrawal himself in 2008 when he was posted as Addl Director of Income Tax in the Directorate of Income Tax (Systems). The Lounge has flourished from its modest beginnings into a modern pavilion dedicated to taxpayer facilitation and education. This transformation symbolizes the Department's commitment to improving taxpayer outreach and accessibility," said the Income tax department.
