Cheer For Taxpayers! ITR Filing Gets Easier With New ‘Lite’ Facility

New Delhi: The Income Tax department on Thursday launched a ‘lite’ e-filing facility to help quick and easy filing of returns by all categories of taxpayers, , news agency PTI reported.

The new facility was operatlionalised on the IT department’s official portal —https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in.

“The Income Tax department is launching ‘e-Filing Lite’, a lighter version of e-Filing portal, with a focus on filing of Income Tax Return (ITR) by taxpayers,” the department said in a public advisory.

“The same can be accessed by clicking ‘e-Filing Lite’ button in the home page. The current e-Filing portal having all the services can be accessed by clicking on ‘Portal Login’ button,” it added.

A senior IT official said a new tab for ‘lite’ was provided on the web portal and once registered, taxpayers can log in their page and they will only be provided the essential links that enable e-filing of ITRs and Form 26AS (for tax deducted at source credit). Taxpayers can download pre-filled or XML forms and view their past filed returns, among others.

Other regular tabs like e-proceeding, e-nivaran, compliance, worklist and profile setting were taken off from the ‘lite version’ but retained in the standard version of e-filing facility, he added.
