The finance department still uses proprietary stuff. They seem to be
holding on to licensed proprietary material from earlier years. The
website http://www.finance.kerala.gov.in and many other things have
been done with GNU-GPLed s/w, but the fact is the department staff has
never been reformed (apparently).

It seems they use Adobe distiller, Pagemaker and more.

Are there no FOSS based solutions for all the other central tax forms?
