"I am surprised to know that income tax is levied on army personnel. I will speak with the Union Finance Minister on this matter," Sukhbir said while addressing an alumni meet at a Kapurthala-based army school.

Terming the school as a "nursery of the armed forces", the Akali leader sought for a development plan of the basic structure of the institute and assured full monetary help in this regard.
