For support by way of contributions to Relief Funds, some deductions from sums payable by governments and some surrender of ITC can be mutually useful for fund flow management for government and tax payers. Option can be provided to taxpayers, receiver of money to contribute out of refunds and payments receivable from GOI and State Governments.
