Income Tax Department operationalises Taxpayer Profile view for comprehensive view of transactions

Income Tax Department operationalises Taxpayer Profile view for comprehensive view of taxpayer’s transactions, relationships, networks, documents and drill down to the underlying information.

Income Tax Department is assisted by an Integrated Tax Payer Data Management System (ITDMS) in generating a 360 degree profile of a taxpayer. It compiles data and information from all available data sources like, PAN, e-TDS, OLTAS, AIR, CIB etc. These information are then linked and extensively mined to generate a complete profile of the person concerned. In case of an individual, the family tree can be created with links to all related entities.

Taxpayer Profile view under Insight Portal presents a comprehensive view of taxpayer’s profile, transactions, relationships, networks, documents and enables drill down to the underlying information.
