Tax certainty and taxpayer-centric administration drive simplified compliance, reduced litigation, digital service delivery, and stronger voluntary tax compliance.
Tax administration reform under the Income-tax Act, 2025, rules and forms is directed toward a simpler, transparent and taxpayer-centric system. Key priorities include reducing compliance costs and litigation through tax certainty, faster return processing, refunds, grievance redressal, voluntary compliance and timely appeal disposal. Digital initiatives, including PAN 2.0, ITBA 2.0, IEC 3.0, Kar Saathi and SAKSHAM NUDGE, are intended to simplify compliance and improve taxpayer experience. Capacity building in technology, international taxation, transfer pricing, digital assets and cybersecurity supports this reform agenda.
