In the early 2000s, tax collections were limited due to a smaller taxpayer base and limited compliance measures. Over time, reforms such as the introduction of e-filing, demonetization, and GST have significantly widened the tax net. The recent measures to encourage voluntary compliance and enhance enforcement mechanisms have further contributed to robust collections. Additionally, the post-pandemic recovery has played a vital role in boosting corporate profits and individual incomes, which are reflected in the rising tax revenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Takeaways_from_Growth_in_Net_Direct_Tax_Collection\"><\/span><strong>Key Takeaways from Growth in Net Direct Tax Collection<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>S.
