In a major step toward reshaping India’s tax technology ecosystem, Deloitte India is preparing to launch ‘Tax Pragya’, an artificial intelligence-powered tax research and insights platform that promises to cut research time from hours to minutes. Scheduled for launch on December 9, the platform aims to revolutionise how tax professionals analyse case laws, interpret judgments, and advise clients.
●A Bold Leap in AI-Led Tax Intelligence
●Designed as a next-generation knowledge engine, Tax Pragya integrates:
●Over 1 million judicial rulings
●Direct & indirect tax cases
●Deloitte’s proprietary knowledge papers spanning two decades
The result is a high-precision, AI-backed assistant that can instantly respond to complex tax queries with relevant case laws, precedents, and advisory directions.
Sumit Singhania, Partner at Deloitte India, highlighted the platform’s groundbreaking vision:
“Tax Pragya is not just another database. It is a cognitive, insight-driven engine built to help tax professionals deliver faster, sharper, and evidence-based advisory.”
From Hours to Minutes: Tax Research Reimagined
Traditionally, tax analysts spend hours combing through court rulings. Tax Pragya’s AI engine will shrink this exhaustive process into a matter of minutes, enabling unprecedented efficiency.
Unlike tools dependent on public data, Tax Pragya is powered by Deloitte’s secure, private tax intelligence archives, ensuring both accuracy and confidentiality. Its agentic AI capabilities allow it to:
●Interpret complex judgments
●Suggest advisory positions
●Identify relevant precedents
●Map possible outcomes based on historical litigation trends
Singhania adds:
“This platform learns continuously as laws evolve. It’s a living, adaptive system—built for the future of tax advisory.”
Instant Policy Updates: Tax Pragya Never Sleeps
●One standout feature is real-time updates on:
●Union Budget announcements
●Legislative amendments
●Income tax rule changes
The platform will reflect updates the moment they are announced, even months before they legally take effect on April 1. Designed as a B2B subscription model, it will support:
●Corporate tax teams
●Financial consultants
●Accounting firms
●In-house finance leaders
Deloitte clarifies that the platform is built to augment human expertise, not replace it.
Next Frontier: Predictive and Generative AI
Deloitte is already developing the platform’s next evolution, expected within 12–18 months, which will include:
●Predictive analytics to estimate litigation outcomes
●Generative drafting for preliminary tax opinions
●AI-based risk assessments for tax notices and appeals
●Strategic advisory modelling based on historical patterns
If executed as planned, Tax Pragya could become India’s first full-scale cognitive tax-law engine.
Three-Phase Rollout: From Enterprises to MSMEs
The rollout will unfold across three stages:
1. December 9, 2025: 500 priority Deloitte clients gain early access
2. January 2026: Platform expands to 5,000 clients across industries
3. June 2026: Nationwide subscription opens — including MSMEs and SMEs, enabling smaller businesses to access high-quality tax intelligence at scale
This final phase is expected to democratise tax research, lowering compliance costs for India’s growing business sector.
A Defining Moment for India’s Tax-Tech Revolution
With Tax Pragya, Deloitte signals a new era where AI and tax expertise converge to create intelligent advisory systems. After pioneering digital tools in e-filing, tax automation, and compliance analytics, Deloitte’s new platform stands out as its most ambitious attempt yet to transform tax research.
“We’re empowering tax professionals with data-backed clarity,” Singhania said.
“Tax Pragya will make evidence-based decision-making faster, smarter, and more accessible.”
Industry observers believe this launch marks a major stride in India’s digital tax evolution, where AI-driven insights will increasingly shape both compliance and litigation strategies for businesses of all sizes.
