Individuals and organizations become subject to taxation only when their income exceeds a certain threshold; however, there is a need for a voluntary contribution mechanism. A scheme should be introduced allowing for voluntary income tax payments in small denominations, such as ₹50 or ₹500. An opportunity could be created for individuals and entities falling below the taxable income limit to voluntarily contribute to the Indian budget on an annual basis.The funds raised could be allocated to the contributors' respective states for special projects—such as river water management, road construction, tourism development, worker welfare, and women's education.Study centers for finance-related higher education institutions, such as the ICAI, could be established. There should be an opportunity for every citizen to make a direct contribution to India's Union Budget. While not mandatory, citizens should be given the chance to voluntarily make a small contribution to the nation.

Tax evasion scams must be prevented. Numerous instances of tax evasion have occurred through the theft of innocent people's PAN details and the illicit use of their bank accounts, resulting in evasion amounting to crores of rupees. Had the links between companies and their owners—as well as the owners' bank account details—been periodically verified, the perpetrators would not have escaped, and the government would not have suffered financial losses. Tax collection agencies should periodically strengthen the relationship between the tax authority & taxpayers through gestures such as quarterly birthday and company anniversary greetings, awards for top quarterly tax contributors, and invitations to special district-level seminars. Fraudulent companies and their owners must be strictly punished. Not a single rupee of the taxes paid by the our people to the government should escape reaching the treasury. The govt should also utilize e-commerce companies as a tool to identify tax evaders

Implementing a comprehensive annual filing mechanism for all Permanent Account Number holders, irrespective of their revenue outcomes, establishes a robust framework for domestic financial tracking. Systematic compliance allows individual citizens to track annual fiscal variations, evaluate personal liability limits, and navigate statutory tax deductions or educational allowances cleanly. Documenting zero-tax or lower-bracket economic status offers key data infrastructure to measure citizen welfare and encourages long-term domestic savings habits. Furthermore, widespread public documentation strengthens national fiscal databases, driving collective macroeconomic expansion. Coupling this with clear public transparency programs on government revenue utilisation directly reinforces civic trust and compliance mechanisms.

Sub: Suggestion for Daily Work Diary in Govt Offices. Respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, Myself M. Sai Baba, I humble suggest, In all State Govt offices, especially in Telangana, every employee should maintain a Daily Work Diary noting what files cleared, what public grievances attended, and pending works. This diary should be displayed on notice board or department website for public to see. Today Govt employees get thousands to lakhs as salary from public money, but public does not know what work they do daily. People wait months for small files which are pending. This diary will bring accountability, speed, transparency, faith on common man in Govt. System and also reduce pressure on RTI. This aligns with your vision of "Minimum Government, Maximum Governance". Kindly consider and advise State Govts to implement this. Thanking you. M SAI BABA R/o. Shivaramapally, Rajendranagar, Ranga Reddy, Telangana Mobile : 7396700126.

Tax Saathi – AI-Powered Pre-Filing Assistant The Income Tax Department can introduce “Tax Saathi,” an AI-based tool on the e-filing portal to help taxpayers file ITRs correctly. It can compare ITR details with AIS, TIS, Form 26AS and TDS records and identify mismatches before submission. It would explain errors in simple language and suggest corrections. Support for regional Indian languages would make tax filing more accessible. Tax Saathi can reduce filing errors, notices and grievances, speed up refunds, improve voluntary compliance and reduce the workload of tax officials. This would make tax administration more transparent, efficient and citizen-centric, supporting Viksit Bharat 2047.

Some of the common reasons why people try to evade tax.... 1) to save the tax money. Solution - educate public that paying income tax will create ' white' wealth which can be used to invest in white financial instruments which will provide much better returns than the tax amount saved. 2) people strongly feel that the tax money is mostly misused / mishandled/ swindled by corrupt politicians, government officials / employees, through various unwanted contracts created by them. So, it forms a strong justification to not pay or short change tax. Solution - create a tax- payers body at multiple levels - ward, municipality, city, state and national levels with powers to approve / veto government works. 3) People similarly feel that the tax money is being misused by political parties to dole out freebies to the public to get votes so that their party wins. Solution - Giving freebies should be banned - no party should be allowed to advertise any freebies before any elections.

Payment of the income tax is the responsibility of every citizen earning a particular income. Similarly, as the other side of the coin, the taxpayers deserve a coverage from the government also which must be proportional to the tax paid. If an incentive is given for the income tax payment, it will be done with the greatest satisfaction of doing the duty and getting a reward. The government must come out to support the taxpayer's family in case of the death of the taxpayer after 3 years of starting the income tax payment. This may be done by paying a particular amount of money to the dependent's account as a security coverage for the tax paid, which must be at least 100 times of the average tax paid in the previous 3 years. The government may keep a corpus fund for the same drawn from the tax pool. It will make the tax payment a rewarding process instead of a compulsion. Please consider this proposal positively so that it will be a unique a scheme. Thank you.
