<h1>Increase in registered income-tax assessees reported, reflecting returns and TDS-recorded taxpayers and provisional growth over recent years.</h1> Increase in the number of income-tax assessees is reported across three assessment years, based on the sum of income-tax returns entered in the system and cases where tax was deducted at source though the taxpayer had not filed a return; one year's figure is noted as provisional and the data was disclosed in a ministerial written reply to a parliamentary question.
