It includes details on the Electronic Furnishing of Return of Income Scheme, awareness campaigns, and a state-wise summary of Income Tax Returns submitted by individual taxpayers in Form ITR1 for Assessment Years 2020-21 to 2024-25. It states there is no category of taxpayers defined as small taxpayers in the Income-tax Act,1961. Key Points / Main Content: * **Definition of Small Taxpayers:** * The Income-tax Act, 1961, does not define a category of taxpayers as "small taxpayers." * **Supportive Measures for Taxpayers:** * The government has implemented supportive measures for lower-income, first-time taxpayers, small businesses, and informal sector workers. * The Income Tax Department launched the Electronic Furnishing of Return of Income Scheme, 2007, to improve taxpayer interface and compliance. * Various e-Return Intermediaries (ERIs) have been registered, including Chartered Accountants, tax professionals, consultancies, and companies. * ERIs are authorized to file income tax returns on behalf of taxpayers and can charge for software license services. * The Income Tax Department conducts awareness campaigns through media channels and digital platforms. * Taxpayers' Hubs are organized in Tier II and Tier III cities to cover return filing, TDS, and advance tax. * Taxpayer Lounges are set up at trade fairs, and outdoor campaigns are conducted. * **Tax Filing Support in Tier II and Tier III Towns:** * The ERI scheme assists small and first-time taxpayers in filing returns. * The Income Tax Department organizes Taxpayers' Hubs in Tier II and Tier III cities with dedicated assistance centers. * The ERI service is currently managed by ADG(S)-3, Delhi. * **Tax Literacy Among Informal Workers:** * The Income Tax Department conducts Taxpayers' Hubs, Tax Literacy Programmes, and quiz programs. * Outreach programs include sessions on income tax return filing, TDS, advance tax, and related provisions. * **Recognition of NGOs and Volunteers:** * There is no proposal under consideration to recognise or incentivise NGOs, CA associations, and student volunteers assisting small taxpayers. * **Summary of ITRs Submitted (Annexure A):** * State/Union Territory-wise summary of Income Tax Returns submitted by individual taxpayers in Form ITR1. * Data includes the total number of ITRs and the number of ITRs declaring various income ranges. * Assessment Years covered: 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 (up to 30th June 2025). Impact Analysis: * **Small Taxpayers (as a general group):** * Impact: The lack of a specific definition in the Income-tax Act, 1961, means that specific policies or support measures targeted explicitly at "small taxpayers" are not defined. However, they can benefit from general initiatives aimed at assisting taxpayers with lower income, such as the ERI scheme and taxpayer awareness campaigns. * Action Required: To note that targeted support is not available as a specifically defined group. * **Lower-Income and First-Time Taxpayers, Small Businesses, and Informal Sector Workers:** * Impact: These groups benefit from the various initiatives implemented by the government to assist taxpayers in filing income tax returns, including the ERI scheme, awareness campaigns, and Taxpayers' Hubs. * Action Required: To utilise the facilities such as ERI scheme, and taxpayer awareness campaigns. * **e-Return Intermediaries (ERIs):** * Impact: ERIs are authorized to file income tax returns on behalf of taxpayers and can charge for software license services. * Action Required: ERIs need to adhere to the guidelines of the ERI scheme and provide effective support to taxpayers in filing their returns. * **Taxpayers in Tier II and Tier III Towns:** * Impact: Taxpayers in these towns can access free or affordable tax filing support through Taxpayers' Hubs and the ERI scheme. * Action Required: To check for taxpayer hubs in their localities and to utilise the facilities there. * **NGOs, CA Associations, and Student Volunteers:** * Impact: Currently, there are no plans to officially recognise or incentivise these entities for their assistance to small taxpayers. * Action Required: Continue efforts on a voluntary basis.
