Its very smart -- just imagine how much would EDS charge for a tax-credit database for 1 bln taxpayers -- probably more than India's GDP.

It is estimated that only about 3% of India's one billion-strong population pay income tax.

"There are only 75,000 to 85,000 people with an income of one million rupees ($22,140) who pay taxes," Finance Minister P Chidambaram told journalists.

"This is unacceptable. There are far more people than this. My advice to people is file your return."

Mr Chidambaram also sounded a note of warning to tax dodgers.

"There is far more information with the tax department than before. Non-filers of tax returns can't get away for long."

Send over Dawn Primarolo to teach them "fairness". "Silly" Indians.
