ClearTax unveils AI Assistant in 7 languages

Bengaluru, July 9 (UNI) In a major step toward inclusive digital taxation, fintech platform Clear today announced the nationwide rollout of ClearTax AI, a multilingual AI-powered personal tax assistant, with full regional languages including Kannada support.
This marks a first in India's tax-tech sector, as the tool enables Indians to file their Income Tax Returns (ITR) in under three minutes by simply chatting in their preferred language.
ClearTax AI is now live across platforms such as WhatsApp, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and the ClearTax website. Users can interact in English, Kannada, Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, or Bangla. The assistant simplifies tax filing for salaried professionals, gig workers, freelancers, and first-time filers, especially those from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
The AI assistant eliminates common hurdles such as complex tax terminology, form confusion, and language limitations. It automatically fetches up to 95% of data from the Income Tax Department, selects the correct ITR form and regime, applies relevant deductions, and provides round-the-clock multilingual support. Users only need to enter their PAN and upload Form 16 and broker statements.
“Our goal is to make tax filing as simple as sending a text message. ClearTax AI is built for India, solving real problems like low digital literacy, language barriers, and lack of expert help. From gig workers to first-time filers in small towns, we’re helping millions of Indians file accurately and confidently, in their preferred language,” said Archit Gupta, Founder & CEO of Clear.
The initiative comes against the backdrop of over 7.28 crore ITRs filed in Assessment Year 2024–25 (as of July 31, 2024), with more than half of them processed offline or with intermediary assistance, highlighting the challenges of accessibility and awareness. Clear aims to onboard 1 crore new tax filers over the next few years, particularly from underrepresented regions and segments.
ClearTax AI also aligns with recent government reforms, including the simplification of ITR rules for individuals with capital gains up to ₹1.25 lakh. The AI tool incorporates such updates automatically, ensuring taxpayers benefit from regulatory changes without needing to interpret complex legal provisions.
The company plans to add support for more regional languages and cater to wider demographics in the coming months, further enhancing digital tax inclusion in India.
