? In preparation for this launch and for migration activities, the existing portal of the Department at www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in would not be available from1st June, 2021 to 6th June, 2021.

? In order to avoid any inconvenience to taxpayers, the Department will not fix any compliance dates during this period.

? Further, directions have been issued to fix hearing of cases or compliances only from 10th June,2021 onwards, to give taxpayers time to respond on the new system.

? Taxpayers are encouraged to complete all their urgent tasks involving any submission, upload or downloads before 1stJune, 2021 to avoid any difficulty during the blackout period.

? The Department requests the patience of all taxpayers and other stakeholders during the switchover to the new e-filing portal and the subsequent initial period while they get familiarized with the new system.

? This is another initiative by CBDT towards providing ease of compliance to its taxpayers and other stakeholders.
