I am happy to note that a more user friendly version of DBIE is being released today. Towards information management and dissemination, the system of data submission under the Online Return Filing System (ORFS) is further strengthened. At present, 40 returns of various departments like DBOD, DBS, FED, FMD, DPSS and MPD are submitted using this platform.
At the same time, the Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) project on the standardisation in the reporting of financial data has made considerable progress during the year with 42 returns taken up for implementation. During the last one year, the Department has made considerable progress in identifying and filling data gaps.
