Changing the Financial year to start from any date might merely prove an exercise in futility A gimmick for the sake of changing the existing system We have numerous financial dealings with the USA Will we next change the accounting year to suit theirs Every system has + & - No one has so far spelt out the compelling shortcomings of the existing system So is the present suggestion merely because it was started by colonial masters? We have so many of colonial good things too Let it stay

Dear Sir,Make it from first Jan to 31 Dec .When you change it first time utilise unexpended budget to recover deficient gap
Regards and All the best .

Financial year from 1st April to 31 March is good as it provides good weather condition to concentrate for finishing the tasks assigned. December end is the time where large number of officer consume leave and go out with their family to enjoy. Stress should be planning activities to spend the budget through out the year uniformly. Presenting the budget in Parliament end January may facilitate this and make the spending effectively

March Month heavy work. Account closing month. Full concentration only in accounts. April month is settle the accounts preparing Audit work. On the other hand March & April Examination time. Every examination is fundamental of the Child life. But no concentration in the Child Education because tight Office work. If change the financial year from January to December all work completed January and to concentrate the Child life. So the financial year change is must.

It gives impression that government is not serious enough to fulfill & deliver promises to people of this country. Government to ensure change should bring change in lives of millions of people of this country. Do not do something just like that. If u want to change, change the way MP & MLA enhance their salary & Perks unilaterally. Take views from the people of this country regarding MP, MLA pay Hike and perks.

We must have pragmatic approach while deciding our priorities. Financial year in it's present form or in calendar form; what difference is it going to make to our economy ? It sounds something like we are inclined to spend our energy & time & money for cosmetic changes which will neither enhance tax collection nor make your procedures simple. Just because it has inherited from British, does it mean that it not worth following or deserves to be abandon just for fancy reasons.Change othr area frst

The financial year should change and start from January to December. WE are facing problem to collect health data or other govt data which record from March to April but in international practice, it start from January to December. On the other hand central assistance to state not being used due to this old practice and it should change and streamline it. It will give better fund management and data reporting at the local level. Thanks PM for this bold initiatives.

I see no major steps which will improve and efficiancy, with change in Financial year. Hence, it is better to keep going with existing.

Yes, the Financial Year should be immediately changed to Calendar Year. Because, There is lot of confusion even in educated people.
