A ‘lite’ e-filling facility was launched by the Income Tax department to facilitate the easy and quick filing of returns by taxpayers. The facility was operationalised on the official portal of the department --https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in.

"The same can be accessed by clicking 'e-Filing Lite' button on the home page. The current e-Filing portal having all the services can be accessed by clicking on the 'Portal Login' button," it added.

A senior official said a new tab for 'lite' was provided on the web portal and once registered taxpayers log in their page, they will only be provided essential links that enable e-filing of ITRs and Form 26AS (for tax deducted at source credit). Taxpayers can download pre-filled or XML forms and view their past filed returns, among others.
