The Income Tax department on Tuesday directed vendor Infosys to address fresh technical glitches on the tax department’s e-filing portal. “Issue relating to the search functionality of the e-filing website has come to our notice. The Income Tax Department is seized of the matter. @Infosys has been directed to look into it & @Infosys has confirmed that they are resolving the issue on priority. @SalilParekh,” the department tweeted. No taxpayer data has been breached, a finance ministry spokesperson said. Taxpayers and consultants have been complaining about the new e-filing portal since it was launched in June 2021. With technical problems affecting taxpayer services eight days after the launch of the new income tax e-filing portal in June 2021, senior finance ministry officials held an interactive meeting with Infosys officials on the glitches. But, the glitches persisted for a long.
