The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has signed a multi-year contract with telecom major Bharti Airtel, under which the latter will provide network and connectivity solutions for CBDT's Taxnet-2.0 programme.
This contract is an extension as Airtel has been the network partner to CBDT since 2008 in Taxnet-1.0.
"The formal Letter of Award was handed over to Bharti Airtel by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and the Letter of Acceptance has been given by Bharti Airtel to CBDT. The occasion was graced by Sunil Bharti Mittal, Founder and Chairman, Bharti Enterprises, and Ravi Agarwal, Chairman, CBDT," Airtel said in a statement.
Airtel will provide robust dual connectivity with Software Defined Network for WAN, and Secure LAN amongst other technology solutions for CBDT's Taxnet-2.0 programme. The project aims to modernise the current system for collection, processing, monitoring and accounting of direct taxes, according to Airtel.
The implementation of Taxnet-2.0 is expected to modernise CBDT's operations significantly, supporting India's digital transformation agenda in tax administration.
Having been CBDT's network partner since 2008 under Taxnet-1.0, Bharti Airtel views the contract award as a continuation of their successful collaboration with the Directorate.
