Palanivel Thiaga Rajan, Minister for Information and Technology in the Tamil Nadu cabinet, called on Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in New Delhi yesterday and thanked her for enabling Tamil Nadu to become the first state to get Application Programming Interface connectivity to Income Tax data.
When he was Finance Minister earlier, he had requested the Union Finance Minister for a data sharing protocol to allow states to access data on Income Tax, Aadhar etc to supplement the efforts of states towards a data-driven administration.
This step will help to increase the efficiency and accuracy of government schemes and subsidies.
Besides this, he also thanked the Union Finance Minister for the support to him during his tenure as state Finance Minister and GST Council Member.
