CBDT Upgrades Income Tax E-Filing Portal Ahead of July 31 Deadline
Ahead of the July 31 income tax return filing deadline, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has upgraded the e-filing portal to handle increased traffic, with infrastructure enhancements including expanded computing resources and a 24x7 monitoring system. While some users may experience occasional delays during peak times, officials report the portal has remained largely stable despite a significant rise in usage. The managed service provider, Infosys, faced penalties for past delays and outages, prompting these improvements.
