The Government of India is launching Special Campaign 6.0 for Swachhata in Government offices and disposal of pending matters from 2nd to 31st October 2026.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, along with its subordinate offices across the country, will actively participate in this transformative initiative led by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG).

The foundation for Special Campaign 6.0 rests on the achievements of its predecessor, Special Campaign 5.0, during which the CBDT carried out the cleanliness campaigns at 1,521 sites, disposing of 2.30 lakh physical files, more than 10,000 e-files. During Special Campaign 5.0, the Income Tax Department freed 1.67 lakh square feet of office space and generated ₹32 lakh through scrap disposal. Most importantly, over 21,251 public grievances were resolved, reaffirming CBDT's commitment to transparency, responsive governance, and citizen-centric service delivery.

To carry forward the spirit of the Special Campaign 5.0, CBDT resolved to further continue the positive steps taken for the resolution of public grievances during the campaign. As part of the same, the CBDT resolved 52,290 public grievances and disposed of more than 6,776 grievance appeals during the period from December 2025 to August 2026. This demonstrates CBDT's commitment to responsive governance.

Under Special Campaign 6.0, CBDT will concentrate on four key areas that align with India's digital transformation and sustainable development goals:

• Disposal of e-waste
• Record management
• Space optimisation & office beautification, and
• Accelerated grievance redressal

 

The CBDT remains steadfast in its commitment to Swachhata, transparency, and efficient service delivery. These initiatives align seamlessly with Government guidelines to institutionalise Swachhata and enhance citizen services.
