Highest Contributors except zero income under major heads of income are as under:

| Range of Interest Income | >0 and <=1,50,000 | 16.95 | 15.52 |
The data reveals that tax revenue is heavily dependent on high income groups except for interest income where low income group contributes in a ratio proportionate to ITRs. However we must bear in mind that the data relates to AY 2012-13 which is approx dates back to four years from now during last four years a lot of awareness has been spread by the ITD among common man on the pro and cons of filing ITRS.
It can be hoped that the data for the onward assessment years would show more participation and contribution by the low income groups meaning thereby that the Government has been successful in sensitizing the masses in contributing to the nation by paying their taxes.
