The Income Tax (I-T) department will launch its new e-filing portal www.incometax.gov.in for taxpayers on June 7. This will replace the existing portal of the department www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in. As a result, the existing web portal will be shut for 6 days between June 1 and 6. According to the income tax department, the new portal will simplify all services, making it highly user-friendly for all users.
Key features of
the "e-filing 2.0 portal" are as following :-
(a) It will be a
mobile-friendly portal and taxpayers will have easy step-by-step guidance with
user manuals and videos.
(b) Helpdesk
support and chatbots will be available.
(c) There will be
secured and multiple options for login.
(d) Multiple
options will be there for on-portal tax payments too.
(e) Pre-filled
forms and simplified ITR utility be made available.
(f) All the functions of this portal on the desktop will be available on
the mobile application as well.
(g) The mobile application will be enabled subsequently for access on a mobile network.
An order was issued by the systems wing of the department that said the "transition" from the old portal to the new will be completed and made operational from June 7. "In preparation of this launch and for migration activities, the existing portal of the department at www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in would not be available for a brief period of 6 days from June 1 to 6”. The e-filing portal is used by the taxpayers to file their individual or business category income tax returns (ITRs) and to raise complaints seeking refunds and other works with the tax department.
