From that perspective, customer service should be included as part of an overall approach to systematic improvement. One good customer service experience can change the entire perception a customer holds towards the organization.

It aims to reduce one's tax liabilities and optimally utilize tax exemptions, tax rebates, and benefits as much as possible.
