THE SOUND OF INCOME TAX COLLECTION!

HOW INCOME TAX COLLECTONS HAVE BEEN SHAPED IN THE PAST 10 YEARS Over the last 10 years, India has witnessed a remarkable transformation in its direct tax landscape, especially when it comes to income tax collections. 📈 In 2014-15, personal income tax collections stood at ₹2.66 lakh crore. By 2023-24, that number has soared past ₹10.45 lakh crore, a near 4x increase. 💡 What’s driving this surge? 👉Formalization of the economy: With the introduction of GST, demonetization, and digital compliance tools, the informal sector has increasingly moved into the tax net. 👉Better data analytics by the Income Tax Department: The use of AI and real-time data monitoring has helped flag evasion and nudge voluntary compliance. 👉Rising middle class: A broader tax base, driven by increased urban incomes and white-collar jobs, has naturally expanded collections. 👉Simplified tax regimes: Optional new tax slabs and smoother digital filing experiences have reduced friction and boosted filing numbers. ...

Investors are now prioritizing profitability over hypergrowth, leading to a valuation reset. 3️⃣ Tech Stock Meltdown – The crash of high-profile tech IPOs (both in India and globally) has shaken investor confidence. Companies that once seemed invincible are now struggling, forcing VCs to rethink their bets. ...

When Gaana was launched in 2010, the idea of streaming music legally in India seemed far-fetched.
