The Income Tax Department is going to launch its new e-filing portal www.incometax.gov.in on *7th June 2021.*
🏄🏻♀️ The new e-filing portal (www.incometax.gov.in) is aimed at providing taxpayer convenience and a *modern, seamless experience* to taxpayers:
🚣🏼♂️ New taxpayer-friendly portal integrated with *immediate processing of Income Tax Returns(ITRs)* to issue quick refunds to taxpayers;
🤹🏻♀️ All interactions and uploads or pending actions will be displayed *on a single dashboard* for follow-up action by taxpayer;
🪔 Free of cost ITR preparation software available *online and offline* with interactive questions to help taxpayers fill ITR even without any tax knowledge, with pre-filling, for minimizing data entry effort;
☎️ *New call center* for taxpayer assistance for immediate answers to taxpayer queries with FAQs, Tutorials, Videos and chatbot/live agent;
📲 All key portal functions on desktop will be available on *Mobile App* which will be enabled subsequently for full anytime access on mobile network;
⏳ New *online tax payment system on new portal* will be enabled subsequently with multiple new payment options using netbanking, UPI, CreditCard and RTGS/NEFT from any account of taxpayer in any bank, for easy payment of taxes.
🔮 In preparation for this launch and for migration activities, the existing portal of the Department at www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in would not be available from1st June, 2021 to 6th June, 2021.
💎 In order to avoid any inconvenience to taxpayers, the Department will not fix any compliance dates during this period.
💉 Further, directions have been issued to fix hearing of cases or compliances only from 10th June,2021 onwards, to give taxpayers time to respond on the new system.
🧲 Taxpayers are encouraged to complete all their urgent tasks involving any submission, upload or downloads before 1stJune, 2021 to avoid any difficulty during the blackout period.
🧃 The Department requests the patience of all taxpayers and other stakeholders during the switchover to the new e-filing portal and the subsequent initial period while they get familiarized with the new system.
🌳 This is another initiative by CBDT towards providing ease of compliance to its taxpayers and other stakeholders.
