flag India's new data-driven tax system uses personalized nudges to boost compliance, recovering billions and reducing errors ahead of legal formalization in April 2026.

flag India is implementing a data-driven tax system using behavioral "nudges" to boost voluntary compliance, as detailed in the 2025–26 Economic Survey. flag The NUDGE framework analyzes real-time data to identify errors—such as inflated deductions, unreported foreign income, or incorrect TDS filings—and sends personalized alerts to taxpayers, encouraging corrections before enforcement. flag This proactive approach has led to significant results: over 8,500 TDS returns revised, ₹4,825 crore recovered, ₹29,000 crore in foreign assets declared, and ₹2,050 crore in false deductions reduced. flag The system, set to be formalized in law by April 2026, aims to reduce litigation, lower compliance costs, and build trust by prioritizing guidance over penalties. flag However, concerns remain over transparency, privacy, and the risk of algorithmic bias.
