Hon'ble Finance Minister Smt. @nsitharaman described the implementation of the Income-tax Act, 2025 as a landmark reform that marks a new chapter in India's tax administration by simplifying the law, reducing compliance burden and strengthening ease of doing business. She highlighted that the Department's role has evolved beyond tax collection to delivering fairness, transparency, efficiency and taxpayer-centric services, supported by a stronger digital ecosystem, improved return processing, prompt refunds and effective grievance redressal.

The Hon'ble Finance Minister emphasised that the next phase of reforms should focus on the 5Rs of Responsive Tax Governance-Recognise, Respond, Redress, Reflect and Reform-to ensure timely, empathetic and systemic resolution of taxpayer concerns. She also called for a shift from litigation management to litigation prevention, anchored in the three Cs of tax certainty - Clarity in taxpayer obligations, Consistency in the application of law, and Continuous institutional learning. She highlighted that technology must remain smart, non-intrusive and citizen-centric while promoting voluntary compliance. She stressed that taxpayers should be served with humility.

Highlighting the importance of modern infrastructure, continuous capacity building and a future-ready workforce, she urged the Department to deepen public trust through innovation and service. Congratulating the officers and staff of the Income Tax Department, she expressed confidence that they would continue to contribute to the vision of #ViksitBharat2047 through a transparent, efficient and trusted tax administration.
