New Income Tax Returns e-filing portal is set to go live from Tomorrow- Here are the features
The CBDT said a proposed new online tax payment system and a mobile app on its soon-to-be launched advanced e-filing website will be activated on June 18 even as the portal will go live on Monday. The new e-filing link — incometax.gov.in — will replace the existing link incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in from June 7.
“It is clarified that the new tax payment system will be launched on June 18, 2021 after the advance tax instalment date to avoid any taxpayer inconvenience,” the CBDT said in a statement. It had earlier said that the upcoming website will enable a new online tax payment system with multiple new payment options using net banking, UPI, credit card and RTGS/NEFT from any account of taxpayer in any bank, for easy payment of taxes. “The mobile app will also be released subsequent to the initial launch of the portal, to enable taxpayers to get familiar with the various features,” the CBDT said.
