As the Income Tax Returns (ITR) season is on full swing, individuals filing their returns for the first time must complete an important prerequisite, registering on the Income Tax Department’s e-filing portal. Without creating an account, taxpayers cannot submit their ITR online or access several digital tax-related services offered by the department. The one-time registration process is simple and requires only a valid Permanent Account Number (PAN), an active mobile number, and an email ID. Once registered, taxpayers can manage their tax records, view important documents, and monitor refunds from a single online platform.
