The CAP 2026-27 is the Income Tax Department's operational blueprint for the upcoming financial year, outlining strategies for tax administration, taxpayer services, and revenue collection.
The direct tax collection target for FY 2026-27 is Rs 26.97 lakh crore, comprising Corporation Tax, Taxes on Income, and Securities Transaction Tax.
The plan aims to accelerate the disposal of appeals by setting stricter timelines, prioritising 'legacy appeals' (filed before April 1, 2022), and focusing on high-value and old disputes.
Taxpayers can expect faster resolution of grievances, with specific timelines for CPGRAM complaints, rectification requests, and appeal effect orders. High-priority grievances are to be resolved within 15 days.
The 'PRUDENT' approach signifies professionalism, responsibility, data-driven decision-making, empathetic enforcement, non-intrusive administration, and technology-enabled governance.
The CAP 2026-27 is designed to operate within the framework of the new Income-tax Act, 2025, and extensive training is being provided to officers for its smooth implementation.
