This is IT Return filing season and you may have many doubts on what income to be shown, what is exempt, what deduction can be claimed, when to file, how to file, and what happens after that.
There are many websites that guide the taxpayers. Chat GPT, Gemini and other AI chatbots can also clarify certain queries.
To get replies and guidance that are authentic and updated, you may try to ask your questions to the AI Chatpot of the Income Tax Department itself!
You may check www.incometaxindia.gov.in and you will find a Chatbot "ᴋᴀʀ ꜱᴀᴀᴛʜɪ" on the right side bottom of the home page. It will answer your queries. In case you need further details, then only you need to refer to Income Tax Act, Income Tax Rules or any other official documents. You do not have to put your login id or password to get the answers in the Chatpot. (This is different from the tax filing website which is www.incometax.gov.in ).
The above website contains many useful information. If you are worried about the New Income Tax Act (2025) and how is it different from the earlier Income Tax Act, 1961, there are FAQs which would answer most of your queries in the website.
The above website contains all circulars issued by the Income Tax Department, Ready Reckoner and many other resources.
From this website, there are links to Income Tax Return filing website (www.incometax.gov.in), TAN/ TDS website (https://traces.tdscpc.gov.in), TDS statement filing website (https://onlineservices.tin.egov.proteantech.in) etc.
While the above website www.incometaxindia.gov.in contain all resources to get guidance, the website www.incometax.gov.in is the website to file returns, make tax payments through banks, file rectification application, check on the communications from the department regarding demand, refund etc. (For the second website mentioned here, you need to login with your username and password after registering to avail services and get details specific to the taxpayer logged in. For the first website, no login mandatory. However, it will not respond to queries that are specific to a taxpayer. )
Please check on ᴋᴀʀ ꜱᴀᴀᴛʜɪ chatpot in the website www.incometaxindia.gov.in to get general guidance.
(The chatpot will improve further in due course, as more people use it.)
