ITR filing deadline: Monday, August 31st is the last date for filing ITR (Income Tax Returns), but just before that, taxpayers are facing technical glitches in login, filing, and payment. In view of the increasing difficulties, the Income Tax Department has decided to keep its helpdesk operational 24×7 until 23:59 on August 31st. Toll-free numbers 1800 103 0025 and 1800 419 0025 have been activated for this purpose. However, as of Saturday, August 29th, no announcement has been made by the authorities regarding extension of the deadline for non-audit taxpayers.
Easy ways to avoid technical issues: Keep ‘Save as draft’ the data after filling each section, so that your hard work does not go waste if the portal crashes. Choose off-peak hours like early morning or late night for filing. If one method does not help in logging in, try another method. Use payment gateway, UPI, net banking or RTGS/NEFT through e-Pay Tax for tax payment. If money has been deducted from your bank account but the status is pending, download the challan or CSI from payment history or OLTAS and file a grievance ticket with complete details.
ITR Portal Outages and 24×7 Helpline:
What to do now? Don’t forget the 30-day e-verification deadline. If you file your ITR on August 31st, verify it by September 30th to maintain your filing date. If you verify after 30 days, the day of verification will be considered the filing date. In such a situation, even if you file your ITR on time, you may face problems like late fees, interest, or loss carry-forward charges.
