The CBDT has launched a comprehensive training drive for the Income Tax Department's workforce to ensure a smooth transition to the new legal framework.

The training programme aims to have at least 50% of the Income Tax Department's workforce trained on the new statute by March 31, 2026.

The new bill aims to simplify language, reduce redundancy, streamline tax procedures, reduce litigation, and enhance the taxpayer experience, replacing the Income-tax Act of 1961.

The new law will feature simplified language, shorter legislation with fewer redundant provisions, and a unified 'tax year' concept, making it easier to understand and comply with.

The Directorate of Training is developing the roadmap, and Principal Chief Commissioners of Income Tax in each region will lead the implementation, including monthly training calendars and outreach efforts.
