Filing tax returns online is now easy and convenient for taxpayers. They will be able to file their own returns in a modern way, 'claimed the Board of Direct Taxes.

In it you will see the acknowledgment of the application you have filled on the same page where the return was filled, and if you have applied for a refund, you will also see its status on the same page.

Another important thing is that the mobile app of this facility will be launched in a few days after the unveiling of the website. This means that you will also be able to fill up financial statements on your mobile.

Let's understand how this new website will work

The Central Board of Direct Taxes comes under the purview of the Ministry of Finance. Just two days ago, the finance ministry issued an official statement detailing what the new website would look like. Accordingly

  1. Modern dashboard and fast processing

Website address not changed. It is as old as incometax.gov.in. But, the face of this website has changed. Now you will get all the information about the application you have filled and what happened next to this application, how far it has been processed, what happened next to your refund / refund application.
You can get a refund as soon as possible as the processing of your statement is now faster. Previously, you had to make two or three extra clicks to get your personal information.

  1. ITR software

In India, as in the West, the Ministry of Finance is trying to get more people to file their own returns. The new website will have a software to help you with the ITR statement you need to fill out.
It will tell you in simple words how to fill the application. With its help you can fill in the return. The software is currently available online or offline for ITR 1,2 and 4. It will also be made available for the remaining ITR 3, 5 and 7. This facility will be free.

 

  1. Taxpayer profile

Now you can create your own tax profile on the website. In this you will be able to write down the information you will get from salary, income from house, other income. This information will be kept confidential to the Ministry of Finance. And it will only be used when filling out your return. This means that this information will be pre-filled in your letter when you fill out the return.
This will reduce the complexity of the application process for you. For this you have uploaded TDS Certificate, STF Statements in the profile that the next work will be done by this website itself. This is because it is often difficult for taxpayers to fill out the ERV information.

  1. New call center

A new call center will be set up to resolve any queries you may have while filling out the return form. Therefore, it is the intention of the Ministry to solve more and more problems online.
In addition, new videos, new articles explaining the problems faced by the people on a regular basis and the process of filling up online applications will be updated on the website. Online chat facility will also be made available to the taxpayers.

  1. Online payment and grievance redressal

This process has also been simplified if you want to file additional income tax after filing the return or make changes to correct the error in the return or reply from the Income Tax Department.
 You can also do this online. Faceless means you can carry out the rest of the process by following the instructions you get online without having to deal with anyone.
A new interface has been introduced for online payment. So you can pay with modern methods like internet banking, UPI and also change your statement online.
