CBDT Expands SAKSHAM NUDGE to Urge Tax Professionals on Audit Report Filings
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has expanded its SAKSHAM NUDGE initiative to include nearly 12,000 tax professionals who have filed fewer than half the tax audit reports compared to the previous year. These professionals received SMS and email reminders to expedite pending filings for assessment year 2026-27 ahead of the extended October 21 deadline. Over 19.5 lakh tax audit reports have been filed so far, but a significant number remain pending despite the original September 30 deadline extension. The initiative aims to improve compliance through targeted, data-driven reminders.
