<h1>Faceless electronic tax assessment enables anonymised online processing and rapid refunds, reducing taxpayer-officer interface nationwide.</h1> The Income Tax Department now functions predominantly online with returns, assessments, refunds and queries processed electronically; all returns are to be processed within twenty-four hours with refunds issued simultaneously. Verification and assessment of returns selected for scrutiny will be conducted through an anonymised back office staffed by tax experts, removing personal interface between taxpayers and tax officers. These procedural reforms accompany substantive tax-relief measures including higher exemption limits, a Standard Deduction, increased deduction ceilings under Section 80C and housing interest, reduced presumptive profit rates, raised presumptive thresholds, and a lower corporate tax rate for companies below a turnover threshold.
