Looking to make the direct taxation system more transparent and seamless, PM Narendra Modi today launched a platform called ‘Transparent Taxation – Honoring the Honest’. The platform has been created by Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to fulfil the mission of honouring the honest tax payers. The platform will enable faceless assessments, faceless appeal, and taxpayer charter. While the faceless appeal option will be applicable from September 25, the faceless assessment and taxpayer charter will come into effect from today.
