The Ministry of Finance has clarified that the Income Tax Act, 1961, does not define a category for “small taxpayers,” making it impossible to provide specific data on their return filings or use of subsidized services. However, a detailed summary of returns filed by individuals in Form ITR-1, categorized by income slabs, has been provided for the financial years 2020-21 through 2024-25. To assist taxpayers with lower incomes, first-time filers, small businesses, and informal workers, the government has launched several initiatives. These include the E-Return Intermediary (ERI) scheme which allows qualified professionals to file returns on behalf of taxpayers, although they are permitted to charge for their services. The Income Tax Department also conducts Taxpayers’ Hubs in Tier-II and Tier-III cities, runs awareness campaigns through various media, and uses its website and social media to increase tax literacy. The government has also implemented simplified filing procedures, such as pre-filled ITRs, and made tax-related information like Form 26AS easily accessible. There are no current proposals to incentivize NGOs or other associations for providing assistance.

ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE
(SHRI PANKAJ CHAUDHARY)

(a) There is no category of taxpayers defined as “small taxpayers” in the Income-tax Act,1961. Hence no such details are made.

However, for the sake of reference, State/Union Territory-wise, Total Income-wise (Total Income is the Gross Total Income minus Deduction Chapter-VIA) and slab-wise summary of Income tax returns submitted by Individuals taxpayers in Form ITR-1 for relevant years is attached as Annexure-A

(b) The Government of India has implemented several supportive measures to assist taxpayers with lower income, first-time taxpayers, particularly individuals, small businesses, and informal sector workers, in filing income tax returns. The Income Tax Department launched “Electronic Furnishing of Return of Income Scheme, 2007” vide Notification No. 210/2007 dated 27/07/2007, with the aim of improving taxpayer interface and statutory compliance by enabling authorized intermediaries to electronically file income-tax returns on behalf of the taxpayers. Various ERIs have been registered over the years under the scheme, and they have provided multi-fold assistance to taxpayers in filings the ITRs.

Under ERI scheme, qualified entities such as Chartered Accountants, tax professionals, consultancies, and companies are approved as e-Return Intermediaries. Under this scheme the ERIs are free to charge payment from the taxpayers for software/license services offered by them.

Further, Income Tax Department (ITD) carries out awareness campaigns through TV, radio, print, and outdoor media to educate taxpayers about various schemes and deadlines including filing of tax returns. Additionally, Income Tax Department (ITD) organizes Taxpayers’ Hubs in Tier-II and Tier-III cities, covering key topics such as income tax return filing, TDS, and advance tax. Awareness efforts have included setting up Taxpayers’ Lounges at trade fairs and conducting outdoor campaigns at airports. Targeted campaigns on return filing, Advance Tax, and schemes like Vivad Se Vishwas were carried out to increase awareness among the masses. Digital platforms (websites and social media) are also used to broaden outreach and to foster a culture of tax compliance.

(c) The Government of India has implemented several supportive measures to assist small and first-time taxpayers, particularly individuals, small businesses, and informal sector workers, in filing income tax returns. One of the key initiatives in this regard is the E-Return Intermediary (ERI) scheme, launched by the Income Tax Department in 2007.

Under ERI scheme, qualified entities such as Chartered Accountants, tax professionals, consultancies, and companies are approved as e-Return Intermediaries. These intermediaries are authorized to file income tax returns on behalf of taxpayers using the e-filing portal. Under this scheme the ERIs are free to charge payment from the taxpayers for software/license services offered by them. Currently the ERI service is managed by the ADG(S)-3, Delhi. Present status of the scheme may be called from the concerned office.

Income Tax Department (ITD) regularly organizes Taxpayers’ Hubs in Tier-II and Tier-III cities, covering key topics such as income tax return filing, TDS, and advance tax. Dedicated centres for taxpayers’ assistance are set up in these taxpayers Hub to assist taxpayers in respect of any query related to taxation including tax filing support.

(d) Income Tax Department (ITD) has conducted Taxpayers’ Hubs, Tax Literacy Programmes, various quiz programmes on online and offline platforms to enhance the tax literacy among workers. These events were attended by the stakeholders, officers and official of other Government departments, other taxpayers, and students (future taxpayers’). Income Tax Department (ITD) also conducts outreach programs including dedicated sessions on various compliance related matters such as filing of income tax returns, TDS, advance tax, and other related provisions.

(e) No such proposal is under consideration.
