FAQ :
The 161st anniversary of Income Tax Day was observed by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and its field offices across India, featuring various activities and messages from government officials.
Activities included webinars with external stakeholders, tree plantation drives, vaccination camps, issuing commendation letters to officers for COVID-19 relief, and connecting with families of officers who died due to COVID-19.
Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman appreciated the department for implementing reforms, simplifying procedures, and making its functioning hassle-free, fair, and transparent. She also lauded taxpayers for their compliance.
The interaction with taxpayers is now characterised by trust and respect, with most processes shifted online, minimising the need for physical visits to offices and relying more on voluntary compliance.
Initiatives like 'Honoring the Honest', the Faceless Regime, and the adoption of the Taxpayers' Charter were highlighted as making the department's functioning more transparent, objective, and taxpayer-friendly.
The department contributes by administering direct taxes, which are seen not just as a source of revenue but also as an instrument for socio-economic objectives, and by fostering voluntary compliance from honest taxpayers.
