Evaluating the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Tax Administration in India

This study explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming tax administration in India. AI is helping the government improve efficiency, reduce tax evasion, and make tax processes easier for both officials and taxpayers. With tools like data analytics and machine learning, AI can quickly detect fraud, analyze large sets of financial data, and ensure better compliance. It also supports faster processing of returns and smarter decision-making. As India moves toward a digital economy, AI plays a crucial role in modernizing tax systems, making them more transparent, accurate, and user-friendly for everyone involved. AI is reshaping the landscape of tax administration in India by automating routine tasks, minimizing human errors, and enhancing transparency. It enables tax departments to identify irregularities through predictive analysis and real-time monitoring of transactions. Chatbots and AI-driven platforms are improving taxpayer services by offering instant support and guidance. Additionally, AI helps in risk assessment, audit selection, and fraud detection, ensuring a fair and efficient tax system. As technology continues to evolve, AI has the potential to bridge gaps in tax compliance, reduce administrative costs, and build trust between taxpayers and authorities, paving the way for a more robust tax framework.

The Impact of GST on Accounting Practices in Chartered Accountant Firms

This study seeks to examine the effects of the implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) on the accounting practices of Chartered Accountant (CA) firms in India. Since its introduction in 2017, the GST has significantly transformed the landscape of indirect taxation, influencing how businesses and professionals approach financial reporting and compliance. The study delves into changes in accounting methodologies, the advisory roles of clients, the workload associated with compliance, and the adoption of technology by CA firms. Utilizing both primary and secondary data, the research assesses how these firms have adjusted to the GST framework, the challenges encountered, and the opportunities that have arisen. The findings reveal that while GST has simplified tax reporting processes, it has simultaneously heightened the complexity and frequency of compliance requirements, leading CA firms to invest in automation and digital solutions.

Offline Multimodal Medical Assistant

Healthcare accessibility in regions with limited internet connectivity remains a critical challenge, as traditional telemedicine solutions are heavily reliant on online infrastructure. This paper presents Viksith, an innovative offline multimodal medical assistant designed to provide medical guidance through speech, text, and image inputs without requiring internet access. Viksith employs resource-efficient algorithms, including locally optimized machine learning models and rule-based decisionmaking, to deliver accurate and timely medical support on low-power devices. The architecture ensures compatibility with resource-constrained environments, making it ideal for rural and underserved areas. Comprehensive testing and pilot deployments demonstrate Viksith’s high performance in recognizing symptoms, analyzing visual inputs, and generating actionable medical insights. This paper provides a detailed exploration of Viksith’s design, implementation, and evaluation, positioning it as a scalable solution for bridging healthcare gaps in offline scenarios.

Marine Pollution & Implementation of Regulations

The Global Environment Report on the Rule of Law, published by UNEP, emphasizes that inadequate enforcement of existing environmental laws and regulations is a significant barrier to preventing environmental degradation. Despite the existence of international legal frameworks to address and manage marine plastic pollution, they are frequently weakened by inconsistent enforcement and a lack of accountability. Consequently, these laws are not applied uniformly across nations, undermining their effectiveness in mitigating marine pollution. The lack of specific regional guidelines leaves countries to establish their standards, creating a disjointed and varied response to the issue. Many neighboring nations focus on enhancing their solid waste collection and management systems to combat marine plastic pollution. However, improving waste management infrastructure requires substantial financial investment, a considerable challenge for many low and middle-income countries. In this context, regional collaboration provides more benefits than multilateral agreements or bilateral pacts. Although global initiatives engage a broader range of stakeholders, countries' varying levels of commitment and capacity frequently hinder prompt collective action. Conversely, while bilateral agreements are simpler to negotiate, they have a limited scope and are less effective in addressing the cross-border nature of marine plastic pollution. As a result, regional cooperation emerges as a more practical solution because it reflects shared interests, considers geographical and political contexts, and enables customized strategies that meet the unique needs and priorities of the region.
