Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced key tax reforms amid the coronavirus pandemic. The new platform "Transparent Taxation - Honouring the Honest" carries forward the journey of direct tax reforms in India, such as "faceless appeals" where taxpayers don't have to visit offices to rectify errors. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who also attended the virtual event today, said the reforms "mark an important step forward in providing a simple and transparent taxation regime for India".
