<h1>CBDT Launches e-Verification Scheme to Boost Voluntary Tax Compliance and Address Under-Reported Income Using IT Technology.</h1> The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has implemented an e-Verification Scheme to enhance voluntary tax compliance using information technology. Initiated in December 2021, the scheme aims to identify unreported or under-reported financial transactions in taxpayers' Income Tax Returns (ITR). The process is entirely digital, allowing taxpayers to respond to notices electronically and correct any discrepancies in their reported income. In a pilot study involving 68,000 cases from the 2019-20 fiscal year, approximately 35,000 cases have been verified. This initiative encourages taxpayers to update their ITRs, promoting transparency and reducing misreported information.
