The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has launched a targeted campaign, known as SAKSHAM NUDGE, to encourage around 12,000 tax professionals to file pending tax audit reports for the assessment year 2026-27, according to officials. The initiative aims to hasten compliance ahead of the extended deadline for submitting these reports.
In the current financial year, more than 19.5 lakh tax audit reports have been filed for assessment year 2026-27, but a significant number remain outstanding, prompting the department to intensify its outreach efforts. The extension of the deadline for filing tax audit reports has been set to October 21 from the original September 30.
The CBDT's decision to include tax professionals in the SAKSHAM NUDGE campaign underscores their crucial role in ensuring accurate reporting and timely compliance.
