FAQ :
The CBDT has asked field officers to intensify tax demand recovery because the projected gross tax revenue is falling short of the Budget Estimate for the current financial year.
To meet the Budget Estimate of Rs 42.7 lakh crore, the government requires a gross tax revenue growth of 22.3 per cent during the remaining five months of the financial year (November to March).
Tax experts suggest that increased enforcement could result in more notices for tax payment shortfalls and a potential delay in large income tax refunds until the end of the financial year to manage cash flows.
The biggest gaps are anticipated in personal income tax, due to higher rebate claims and slower growth in salaried taxpayers, and in Securities Transaction Tax (STT), impacted by weak trading volumes and recent rate cuts.
The government is also strengthening compliance through data analytics, increased follow-ups on advance tax payments, and stricter enforcement of foreign asset disclosures in income tax returns.
