In order to enhance taxpayers experience and keep pace with new technology, the Income Tax Department has revamped its website last week. The newly revamped website, www.incometaxindia.gov.in, was launched by Nitin Gupta, Chairman of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT).
“The Income Tax Department has launched a redesigned website to enhance the taxpayer experience and embrace new technology. The updated site offers a user-friendly interface, added features, and fresh modules for an efficient and informative platform.

Additionally, a due date feature keeps users informed about upcoming Income Tax deadlines. Overall, the revamped website aims to improve user experience, convenience, and technology integration, providing taxpayers with an accessible platform for managing their income tax matters,” said Abhishek Soni CEO and Co-founder Tax2win.
“The revamped National website http://incometaxindia.gov.in serves as a comprehensive repository of tax and other related information,” the income tax department has informed on X (former Twitter).
