The function was organised to mark the foundation day of the All India Federation of Tax Practitioners (AIFTP).
Jain said with 1,200 amendments having taken place in the past five years, there is an of confusion among the tax payers, tax practitioners, and the officials. It is hard for the professionals to remain updated on the latest rules.
