According to the circular (No: CBSE/Secy/C./2025, dated 28.10.2025), the comics aim to make tax literacy fun and relatable for young learners while highlighting the importance of income tax in nation-building and responsible citizenship.
The comic series is available free of cost and in multiple Indian languages on the official Income Tax Department website: https://incometaxindia.gov.in/Pages/comic-books.aspx
CBSE has encouraged all affiliated schools to share this resource widely among students, teachers, and parents, and to consider integrating the content into their awareness and co-curricular activities.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to nurture financial awareness, civic responsibility, and informed citizenship from an early age.
