HOW TO RESET INCOME TAX EFILING PASSWORD

NEW PROCEDURE LAUNCHED BY INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT FOR DETAILED PROCEDURE CLICK HERE


As you all are aware that Income Tax Department has stopped sending e-mails of passwords on any other email-id except that is registered with income tax department. Due to this many assesses are facing trouble to file their return, because either their previous consultant is not giving them the password or they have forgotten the password created by them. In this post we are going to tell you the ways in which we are creating new password for our clients:

1. RESET THROUGH DSC-
Step 1- Go to https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/
Step 2-  Then go to Login section of the site




Step 3- Click Forget Password (Find it near Login button)
Step 4- Fill in the PAN for which new password is required
Step 5- On the next screen there are three option available:
  • Answer Secret Question
  • Upload Digital Signature Certificate
  • Enter e-Filed Acknowledgment Number and Bank Account Number
Step 6- Select option  Upload Digital Signature Certificate
Step 7- Select New DSC and Upload using pfx file or USB token, whatever is applicable.
Step 8- You will be redirected to a screen at which you can change your password.

2. THROUGH ERI-
If you do not have DSC, one of the simple step you can do is to file your return through a ERI. ERI can file returns without passwords or you can file through http://taxcloudindia.com/. You will get the acknowledgment number and you can break the password with the help of the acknowledgment number.



Hope that this post is useful for you, please comment on the post if found useful.

    1. File your return manually
    2. Get a Digital Signature Certificate
    3. Call Income Tax Department Helpline: 180042500025

  4. Hi Akshay,
    I have forgotten my password & email for e-filing purpose. I have already called the helpline number but they were unable to help. If I apply for a change in email via correction/change form for exiting PAN card holders will it help?
    or
    Can any agent or CA help me get the login details.

    1. Hi Tapan Das,
      Please use the website taxcloudindia.com, it can file your return online without password. After the return is filed use the acknowledgment number and you bank account number and reset your password.
      But be careful, taxcloudindia.com doesn't allow you to see if the return was already filed earlier or not.

    1. No the message means that if you send the detail on the mail to validate@incometaxindia.gov.in for sending password it will be sent on registered email-id. It doesn't apply on the above mentioned procedures or the other 2 options to change password.

  16. if my password is weakest for filling online can i change it?How to know your pan jurisdiction by PAN number

  17. Anything can be possible. You can at least ensure that you don’t commit any negligence. Do not handover copy of PAN to any one for no reason. Whenever you are submitting PAN for any purpose, writing down the purpose (just online) touching to the edges of PAN or little across of it and keep no much space between image of PAN and signature or the note you mention about the purpose.
