Guide to Register on the Income Tax Portal

The new income tax portal has a new design and also provides great convenience to the taxpayers. It was announced this year on May 20. The new portal can be used to complete all tax-related duties.

 

The e-Filing platform is used by taxpayers to file their income tax returns (ITR). Apart from this, the portal can also be used to request refunds and file grievances. The site is used by the Tax Department to get responses from taxpayers who have various questions. All correspondence about penalties, exemptions, and appeals is also done through the portal.
