FAQ :
If you're unable to reset your password through the standard 'forgot password' options, you can try registering your mobile number with Aadhaar to generate an Aadhaar OTP, or use Net Banking by logging into your bank's portal and navigating to the e-filing section.
If you lack access to your registered mobile or email, you can attempt to reset your password by uploading a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), using your Aadhaar OTP (if your Aadhaar is linked to your PAN and your mobile is registered with Aadhaar), or by logging in via Net Banking.
To use the Aadhaar OTP option, your Aadhaar must be linked with your PAN, and your mobile number must be registered with Aadhaar. An OTP will be generated and sent to your registered Aadhaar mobile number, which you can then use to reset your password.
If no other option works, you should write a self-attested clarification letter requesting a default password, scan your self-attested Aadhaar and PAN cards, create a zip file with these three documents, and email it to efilinghelpdesk@incometax.gov.in.
Buying a DSC is an option for resetting your income tax e-filing password, but it is considered an expensive method. It's best pursued only if you have exhausted all other available options.
