ITR Insights: Deep Dive into Tax Filing Statistics
What Is ITR Insights?
ITR Insights is a deep analytics dashboard on ITR Stats that breaks down Indian tax filing data into four key dimensions: refund processing, form-type distribution, income distribution, and geographic concentration. All data comes from the official e-Filing portal and CBDT statistics.
Refund Pulse
Track how efficiently CPC is processing returns and issuing refunds. Key metrics include: total returns filed, e-verification rate, refund issuance speed, and year-over-year growth. This section updates as new data becomes available on the portal.
Filing by Form Type
See how ITR filings break down across form types (ITR-1 through ITR-7). The pie chart and top-3 stats show which forms dominate. ITR-1 still leads, but ITR-2 is the fastest growing — reflecting India's shift toward investment-linked income.
Income Distribution
A horizontal bar chart showing how many taxpayers fall into each income bracket. Key insight: over 80% of filers report income below Rs 10 lakh. The below/above Rs 5 lakh split and total filer count provide quick context.
State Concentration
Two charts — absolute filings by state and cumulative share — show how concentrated India's tax base is. Top 3 states contribute about 35% of all filings. The cumulative chart shows that 10 states account for over 75% of all ITR filings.
