The Income Tax Department has launched a new website called ‘Kar Saathi’, aimed at making tax-related work simpler and faster for taxpayers.
This new platform brings all income tax information in one place, so users don’t have to search multiple pages anymore.
What Is ‘Kar Saathi’ and How It Helps
The highlight of the new website is ‘Kar Saathi’, an AI-powered assistant that helps users with their tax queries.
It acts like a 24/7 guide for taxpayers
Helps you understand tax rules and processes
Makes navigation easier for beginners
According to the department, the goal is to make tax filing more user-friendly and less confusing.
One Platform for Everything
With this new website, taxpayers can:
Access all direct tax information in one place
Get faster responses to their questions
Navigate the system more easily
The focus is on saving time and reducing complexity for users.
Part of a Bigger Digital Push
This launch is part of the government’s effort to modernise India’s tax system using technology.
The initiative was also highlighted by Central Board of Direct Taxes Chairman Ravi Agrawal during the rollout of the ‘PRARAMBH’ programme.
The programme aims to ensure a smooth transition to the new Income Tax Act, 2025.
Fewer Rules, Less Hassle for Taxpayers
As part of this simplification effort:
Rules have been reduced from 510 to 333
Forms have been cut from 399 to 190
This is expected to make compliance much easier and may remove requirements for over 6 crore transactions.

With AI support and fewer rules, taxpayers can expect a smoother and more efficient experience in the coming years.
