Now the the new URL http://incometax.gov.in replaced the long-existing http://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in but new one not opening so far.


As per incometax department the home page is an all-new portal with features that make e-filing easier for taxpayers!" "The portal has been developed as a mission mode project under the national e-governance plan. The objective of this portal is to provide a single-window to the income tax-related services for taxpayers and other stakeholders. Earlier today, FM said that it is "an important milestone to make the compliance experience more taxpayer-friendly", FM also said, adding that it's "the service of the nation".

Sitharaman said this while replying to a query raised by a Twitter user Nimesh Dedhia who said he was unable to log in on the new Income Tax website. Some other users also complained on social media that certain features were taking longer than usual to load in the new portal. Some also praised the new facilities. .
