New Delhi: With ITR Filing 2024 in full swing, taxpayers are racking their heads poring over piles of documents and being overwhelmed by numbers. While some are flocking to chartered accountants, the tax filing platform Cleartax has simplified tax filing further by introducing WhatsApp-based ITR filing.
Cleartax founder Arhcit Gupta took to social media platform X to project the utility as a useful tool for tax filing, especially for taxpayers who are gig workers, employed with tech companies as delivery partners, driver partners and more. “For the last 6 months using the latest Gen-AI GPT models and Whatsapp API we built an entire new product from the ground up,” said Gupta.
