Hello friends..

We all are aware about the recent update on the income tax website. Where it requires clients mobile pin and email pin before proceeding for actual return filing.

There is no way to avoid the mobile pin as the site accepts one mobile number only upto four assesses. But yes there is a trick to use a same mail id for more than four assesses. Use a gmail account with a '.' (dot), and while submitting the email id on the income tax website just reposition the dot in the first half. The Income Tax website accepts the mail id but sends the mail to the original mail id only.

Example : if your mail id is abc.xyz @ gmail.com then submit a.bc.xyz @ gmail.com to the departments website and you'll find the mail in the inbox of abc.xyz @ gmail.com.

No its not like this as mentioned by Pushparaj we are not required to revalidate the details if we used an ID with (.) and can successfully use the trick.

Further the department has increased the limit to 10 (from 4). thus same email ID & Mobile can be used for 10 assessees now.

But,the department make it very cumbersome procedures. Earlier it was very easy to file the returns.Today I try to register the assessee and I have pressed resend PIN key several times but in vain. The server capacity is also very poor.Later lot of mail send to the mail with equal numer of resend requestsI pressed. Again we have to find the correct PIN for both mail and SMS.
