In the new IT portal does anyone know if it is possible to give access to a CA or other person so they can do some activities without having to share the main login / password?
Eg how they have in Traces where we can create more than one login for the same TAN and then the secondary login has less permissions than the main login?
| Yes, the new IT portal (incometax.gov.in) has a feature to authorise a CA or representative without sharing your main login. Here is how: 1. 'My CA' Feature: Log in to the taxpayer's account → Go to 'Authorised Partners' → 'My CA' section. Here you can add the CA's membership number and authorise them for specific activities like filing forms, viewing tax details, responding to notices etc. 2. What the CA Can Do After Authorisation: - File forms on behalf of the taxpayer (e.g., Form 10A, 10B, 29B, 3CA-3CD etc.) - View the taxpayer's dashboard and filed returns - Submit responses to certain notices - The CA uses their OWN login credentials — they do not need your password at any point 3. How It Works: - Taxpayer logs in → Profile → Authorised Partners → Add CA → Enter CA's PAN/membership number → Select permissions → Save - The CA then sees the client's PAN linked in their own CA login under 'Clients' 4. Difference from TRACES: On TRACES, secondary logins are for the same TAN holder. On the IT portal, the CA-taxpayer authorisation is a separate mechanism — CA uses their professional login, taxpayer uses their own. No shared password needed. 5. Revoking Access: The taxpayer can revoke the CA's authorisation at any time from the same 'My CA' section. |
