<h1>CBDT Launches New Portal for Automatic Exchange of Information to Streamline Access and Compliance.</h1> The Chairman of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) inaugurated a new web portal for the exchange of information on the Income Tax website. This portal centralizes information related to the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), facilitating access for financial institutions, departmental officers, and the public. The portal will serve as a repository for policy documents and guidance issued by CBDT and other regulatory bodies. It aims to assist both domestic and international entities in understanding Indian laws and procedures related to AEOI. The necessary legal framework was established in 2015, with ongoing stakeholder consultations to ensure compliance.
