Lack of Awareness and Other Dissonance Behind the Low Uptake of the New Income Tax Regime in India

The Department of Management Studies successfully received a Research Project from ICSSR on title “Lack of Awareness and Other Dissonance Behind the Low Uptake of the New Income Tax Regime in India”.

The intended research centers around the introduction of a fresh tax system in India, with a specific emphasis on direct taxes, which constitute a vital revenue stream for the government. A primary objective of this study is to assess the awareness among the general public regarding the newly implemented tax structure. Additionally, the project aims to explore the reasons behind the majority of the public choosing not to embrace the new tax regime.


Following are the objectives of this project:

Investigate reasons for the lower-than-expected popularity of the new income tax system, focusing on:

  • Lack of awareness among taxpayers.
  • Inflexibility and limited adaptability.
  • Reduced deductions and exemptions compared to the previous regime.

Assess implications of low uptake for the Indian government and taxpayers, including:

  • Analyze impact on government tax revenue.
  • Evaluate taxpayers' ability to benefit from available deductions.

Provide insightful explanations for the lack of popularity to inform future policy decisions and enhance the design of the new regime for wider adoption.

This project is a collaborative study in which Dr Himani Gupta is a Co- Director
