IT Dept to track PANs involved in wrongful claims
The Income Tax Department is now using artificial intelligence (AI) to track the number of online visits of users on its portal to flag high-value transactions and filter out PANs involved in wrongful claims identify patterns in taxpayer behavior.
For instance, repeated online access to Annual Information Statement, which is a detailed summary of a pre-filed Income Tax Return, could point to a tax return that needs to be filed, but is not being filed. Or it is just possible that the taxpayer is unable to file returns correctly despite multiple attempts. The IT Department can use this information to intervene and help the taxpayer.
The main objective is to progressively create a 360-degree profile of taxpayers’ transactions and identify patterns in the filing of tax returns, said Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairman Ravi Agrawal in an interview.
The CBDT Chairman said these actions were not specifically against the taxpayers but against the intermediaries or the facilitators who are misguiding the taxpayers.
