| 'In British times, the opium trade protected people from taxes' | 04-SEP-09 |

| Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax in Kolkata C P Bhatia is not just a taxman by profession. He thinks tax even in his leisure time, his hobby being researching the history of taxation. He’s still collecting material for a possible book, though the exercise, he insists, is in the preliminary stages. In an interview with Ishita Ayan Dutt, Bhatia talks about his research that led him to discover the grave of James Wilson, the man who introduced India to taxation in 1860. This being the 150 th year of Wilson’s death, Bhatia has written a small pamphlet on the father of taxation and played a leading role in the restoration of his grave. |

More, in a falling interest rate scenario, liquid funds are not expected to return 8 to 9 per cent as earlier. On the other hand, arbitrage funds can comfortably return 7 per cent.
