24/7 Assistance

The AI chatbot, Kar Sati, is expected to provide 24x7 assistance to taxpayers through the department's website.

Earlier, Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairman Ravi Agarwal highlighted the initiative while launching an outreach programme called "PRARAMBH".

He had said that a smooth and technology-driven system would be created by incorporating digital services, including new websites and guidance tools, in a phased manner.

Agarwal emphasised that the policy reforms and the launch of Mission India (Responsible Action) were a major step in India's tax administration journey.

He said the transition to the new tax framework not only introduces new rules but also makes the system simpler, clearer and more reliable for taxpayers.
