A country-wide ‘taxpayer e-assistance campaign’ will be launched on Wednesday by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to mark the 159th ‘Income Tax Day’, officials said on Monday.
The campaign has been conceptualised by the CBDT and it will be launched across all regional offices of the Income Tax Department, they said.
The taxman will hold camps to help taxpayers in e-filing of their returns and this “hand-holding” will be done to enable them understand the recent changes in the forms, laws and utilities (softwares) of the direct taxes regime, a policy plan accessed by PTI stated.
Among other events, all regional offices of the Income Tax Department will celebrate the day by honouring those assessees who file their taxes diligently.
