Hack for 4 email id limitation for income tax return purpose

1132 views 5 replies

"One mobile number or email ID can be used for a maximum of 4 user accounts as the 
Primary Contact- Mobile Number and Email ID in e-Filing. This is to ensure that family 
members (not exceeding 4 separate users) not having personal email or mobile can be 
covered under a common email or mobile, but in general taxpayers should have their own 
unique email ID and Mobile registered with the Department"

Here is a common but not so common answer to the above problem : 

Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they'll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:

  • homerjsimpson @ gmail.com = hom.er.j.sim.ps.on @ gmail.com
  • homerjsimpson @ gmail.com = HOMERJSIMPSON @ gmail.com
  • homerjsimpson @ gmail.com = Homer.J.Simpson @ gmail.com

 

All these addresses belong to the same person. You can see this if you try to sign in with your username, but adding or removing a dot from it. You'll still go to your account.

If you get mail that seems to be intended for someone else, it's likely that the sender entered the wrong address, just like if you've ever dialed a wrong phone number for someone. In these cases, we suggest contacting the original sender or website when possible to alert them to the mistake.

One last thing: Google Apps does recognize dots. If you'd like to have a dot in your username, please ask your domain administrator to add your preferred username as a nickname.

 

So Chillax, Chartered Accountants !!

Did anyone tried this!

One mobile number or email ID can be used for a maximum of 10 Returns now instead of 4.

This (.) idea is not working any more. ITD message says this ID is used for max 10 times.

Ya this trick is not working now. Please tell if any other solution.

One mobile number or email ID can be used for a maximum of 10 user accounts. Is it correct?
