Tax scrutiny dropped to 0.26% of all returns: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi at launch of 'Transparent Taxation - Honoring the Honest' platform stated that the tax scrutiny has dropped to 0.26% of all returns since 2012-13.

"In 2012-13, 0.94% of all tax returns were scrutinised.

In 2018-19, this figure came down to 0.26%.

This means, case scrutiny has reduced about four times," PM Narendra Modi.

"In the past 6 years, India has witnessed the evolution of a new governance model in tax administration.

We have decreased - complexity, taxes, litigation, and increased - transparency, tax compliance, and trust on the taxpayer," PM Modi added.
