India's Income Tax Department launches AI-powered transformation. The new Kar Saathi website centralizes Direct Tax information with a 24/7 AI chatbot providing instant taxpayer support. This upgrade arrives as the new Income Tax Act 2025 takes effect, featuring significant administrative simplification. The CBDT reduced rules from 510 to 333 and forms from 399 to 190, cutting compliance requirements by nearly 52 percent. Over 2,200 FAQs and guidance notes support taxpayers navigating 186 forms. The initiative, called PRARAMBH, represents India's shift toward a citizen-first tax administration approach with digital tools, multimedia campaigns, and multilingual educational materials designed to enhance transparency and reduce taxpayer confusion during this major legislative transition.
