CBDT’s most powerful official Sudhir Chandra, who is also a member of investigation as well as CBDT’s acting chairman, will have completed his tenure on March 31. It is hoped that the government will given him an extension, and why not, when he is being lobbied by Amita Paul. The finance ministry has sent its recommendation to the DOPT, from where it will reach the PMO for his signature. It is likely Chandra will stay back. Amita wants the CBDT’s chairman to have a fixed tenure of two years.
