ClearTax announced on Wednesday that it has collaborated with Microsoft to create a streamlined solution enabling gig workers throughout India to file their taxes using WhatsApp.
Using Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, ClearTax has designed a simplified solution that enables gig workers to easily file their taxes through WhatsApp, as per the company's statement.
"The impact of this (initiative) has been swift and substantial. In just 5 weeks of launch, nearly 98,000 gig workers have been able to file their taxes with this new system. Moreover, all these individuals are set to receive several immediate economic benefits of this simplified scheme," the statement said.
The Bengaluru-based firm plans to further extend this service to employers, enabling them to assist their blue-collar employees with tax filing and TDS refund claims, it added.
"By making tax payment as easy as WhatsApp messaging, we're not just providing short-term relief -- we're expediting the long-term national objective of financial inclusion on a larger scale," ClearTax co-founder Archit Gupta said.
