FAQ :
The NUDGE campaign, an initiative by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), encourages taxpayers to voluntarily review and correct any ineligible or incorrect deduction or exemption claims made in their Income Tax Returns for Assessment Year 2025-26.
The Income Tax Department has used advanced risk analytics and data analytics to identify cases where incorrect or bogus deductions or exemptions may have been claimed, including issues with donations to political parties or incorrect PAN details.
Affected taxpayers are being notified through SMS and email as part of the NUDGE campaign.
Taxpayers are advised to revise their Income Tax Returns by 31 December 2025 to correct any ineligible claims and avoid further scrutiny.
If you miss the 31 December 2025 deadline, you may still file an updated return from 1 January 2026, but this will be subject to paying additional tax liability.
No, if your deduction or exemption claims are genuine and have been made correctly in accordance with the law, you do not need to take any further action.
