    Solution

    It has been the constant endeavor of the Income Tax Department to improve Taxpayers Services by making compliance easy and smooth. Our taxpayers' portal received a maximum of 72 lakh returns in a day; processed more than 6.5 crore returns this year; average processing period reduced from 93 days in financial year 13-14 to 16 days now;  and 45 per cent of the returns were processed within 24 hours. We intend to further improve this, roll out a next-generation Common IT Return Form for taxpayer convenience, and also plan to strengthen the grievance redressal mechanism.
