New ITR E-Filing Portal 3.0 to Launch Soon: IT Dept Invites Suggestions

The Income Tax Department is set to launch a new e-filing portal, IEC 3.0, to replace the current platform. The new portal aims to enhance user experience with faster processing, improved data security, and a more intuitive interface. Key features include quicker ITR processing and refunds, efficient grievance resolution, and reduced technical glitches. The department is inviting public suggestions to ensure the portal meets user needs. A committee led by a Commissioner of Income Tax will gather feedback from stakeholders, including tax professionals and taxpayers. The committee’s findings will be submitted by November 30, 2024. Tax experts are optimistic about the new portal’s potential to improve user experience and reduce technical issues. The new system is expected to handle the growing taxpayer base more efficiently, preventing issues seen in previous years and reducing taxpayer hardships.
