Important changes in procedure in efiling for the A.Y. 2008-09.

Necessary software for efiling of returns has been released in the official website www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in. ITR 1/2/3/4/5/6 and 8 have been released a few days ago.

As I have informed in my earlier post that PAN has been made the User id for all individual assesses. All the user ids other than PAN have been substituted by PAN. (In the last year the system was not allowing any other user id to create but in the very first year of efiling assessees could have exercised their own choice for any user id. This created a lot of troubles. By mistake or intentionally the users did mention “spaces” in the beginning or at the end which were not visible while retrieving forgotten user ids and that made a lot of problems. I can remember incidents like one assessee has filed return for another one by mistake and the original one was running from pillar to post to submit his own return. Hope, being PAN, the unique id, these problems will be no more. But remember, the password will be the same as you have mentioned while registering.

The e mail id has been made mandatory field for efiling. You may observe that now it is a red field. This year after successful submission or return electronically, the ITR V will be sent through email to the assessee. So providing correct email id is a must. I know many assessees have provided an imaginary email id while registering. I suggest them to update their email id before filing their return this year. The procedure is very simple.

Visit the site www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in , Log in with user id and password. Go to – My Account (Top Right Hand Corner) – My Profile. Change the email address correctly and save.

Mention the same email address in your return henceforth.
