Faceless Income Tax Appeals Gain Major Boost: 85K Disposed in FY25, RTI Data Reveals

RTI data reveals a major boost in faceless income tax appeals, with a significant number disposed of in FY 2024-25. The faceless appeal scheme aims to bring transparency and efficiency to the tax dispute resolution process by eliminating physical interaction between the appellant and the tax authorities. The increase in disposal rates suggests that the scheme is gaining traction and contributing to a reduction in the backlog of tax appeals. This digital initiative is a key step towards modernizing the tax administration system.
