The Income Tax Department has introduced a new feature on its e-filing portal to ease the process for taxpayers to track pending tax proceedings. The new ‘e-Proceedings’ tab within the portal will allows taxpayers to navigate through various notices, letters, and intimations issued by the department.

This will reduce the compliance burden on taxpayers and eliminate the need for physical visits to income tax offices.

Through the ‘e-Proceedings’ tab, registered users will be able to view and respond to a variety of notices and communications issued by assessing officers, the Central Processing Centre (CPC), or any other income tax authority.

These include, defective notices under Section 139(9), intimations under Section 245, prima facie adjustments under Section 143(1)(a), and suo moto rectifications under Section 154, among others.

The process requires users to log in to the e-filing portal with their credentials.

From the dashboard, they can access the ‘Pending Actions’ section and navigate to ‘e-Proceedings.’

Users can then select the appropriate option based on whether they are responding as individuals or authorised representatives.

To utilise this service, users need an active PAN, a valid user ID, and password for the e-filing portal, and the relevant notice, intimation, or letter from the Income Tax Department.

Additionally, authorised representatives may need to be authorised to act on behalf of the taxpayer, and in certain cases, an active TAN may be required.
