Through them, important topics like why it is necessary to pay taxes, the benefits of paying taxes on time, and the role of taxes in the country's development are explained in a very simple and fun way. The comics explain that if every citizen pays taxes honestly, the country progresses rapidly.

CBSE will integrate tax literacy in schools

In its circular, CBSE has appealed to all affiliated schools to share these comics among students, teachers, and parents. The circular states that schools can include the content of these comics in awareness activities to develop a sense of tax literacy and responsible citizenship in children from a young age.

Fun games for kids also in the comics

At the end of each book, small quick games and puzzles, like mazes, have also been added for children, creating a perfect combination of learning and fun. The comics also feature a fun character 'Jankari Babu', who teaches children important things about taxes.
