The All-New ITR e-Filing Portal | 5 Must-Know Features You Need to Know
Let's see what are the five must-know features you need to know about the new e-filing ITR portal. You can access the new portal at www.incometax.gov.in. The new portal will have a single dashboard, which will provide certain benefits.
1. Tutorials, guidance notes and videos
The landing page of the new portal has a tab with all the categories of taxpayers. The new portal has guidance notes related to ITR forms, Tax slabs as well as tax deductions that will be applicable under the dropdown of each category of taxpayers. The ITR department has also uploaded guidance videos on income tax under the section ‘Things to know’ in the pre login stage for the benefit of the users.
2. Pre-filled ITR
ITR utilities will be pre-filled with details such as salary income, interest, dividend and capital gains once TDS and SFT details are uploaded by the concerned entity. The new portal also allows taxpayers to update their profile details. Details once updated by the taxpayers will be pre-filled in his or her ITR utility. Pre-filing of ITRs will simplify the return filing process and reduce tax evasion.
3. Launch of a Mobile App
The new income tax portal will be available on mobile phones in the form of an app. This app will be available soon and will help taxpayers get used to the new features. All the important features of the income tax portal available on the desktop will be made available on the mobile app too.
4. Chatbot assistance
The chatbot/ live agent will promptly assist the taxpayers in filing their ITRs and also help in resolving various other income tax-related queries. The portal also extends digital assistance to the taxpayers via various detailed FAQs, videos and user manuals. The new portal is all set to have a ‘new call centre’ for prompt resolution of the user’s queries.
5. Tax Payment facility
The new portal now provides an income tax payment facility to the taxpayers which is currently provided by the NSDL portal. The new payment system will be launched by 18th June 2021 to avoid inconvenience caused to taxpayers while paying the 1st instalment of the advance tax. The new system will provide taxpayers with a variety of payment options such as UPI, credit card, NEFT, RTGS and net banking.
With the launch of the new portal, users are advised to re-register the DSC as the old ones are not migrated due to security issues. Also they are advised to update the user ID and mobile number under primary contacts in their profile, link aadhaar and pre-validate bank account if not done previously and reset e-Filing Vault Higher Security Options.
