Our Journey – From a Seed to Sequoia
C.T.D.O.A. - Commercial Taxes Directorate Officers’ Association, an association of directly recruited West Bengal Commercial Taxes Service (presently West Bengal Revenue Service) Officers into the Directorate of Commercial Taxes, Government of West Bengal, started its journey since 1976. Initially it was an effort by a few dedicated, agile and concerned officers. With the passage of time it was felt necessary to strengthen the bond among fellow officers with a compulsion of weathering out service odds as well as personal distresses, ensuring better working & service condition, and serving the social surroundings aiming at a better ecosystem around. With vibrant activities, well planned and well thought, in no time an association of a few bloomed into a big and strong association of many. C.T.D.O.A. has never turned back thereafter and has shown courage, delivered intelligence and active support to changes in Government policies and changes in Laws. It is C.T.D.O.A.’s active support that ushered in WBST Act, 1994, WBVAT Act, 2003 and of late Goods & Service Tax Act, 2017. The esteemed members of this association always raised their hands and marched forward for betterment of the economic scenario of the state with ever changing economics and business practices globally so as to optimise the collection of Tax Revenue and ensured a better Tax Administration. At the same time they strongly remained cohesive towards curving out a niche for their peaceful existence with due dignity and impartiality. C.T.D.O.A. has stepped into a pre-golden jubilee era with much vigour. Age of the association, changes in social and political arena, non-fulfilment of deserving aspirations ----nothing could snatch it’s agility and vibrance. We shall strive and make our best endeavour for the service towards Revenue of the State relentlessly and shall continue to take challenges towards a better as well as an economically sound West Bengal.
