Specified banks provide access to https://Incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in “My Account” of the assessee through their Netbanking facility. The Banks will provide this facility to the account holders whose Bank account have a valid PAN number as part of the ‘Know Your Client’ (KYC) and who registered for the NetBanking facility.
