What information do I need, to register myself in the ITD e-filing website?
Answer: The basic information required is: PAN, Full Name, Date of Birth/Incorporation, Communication Address, valid e-mail id, Mobile number and Digital Signature Certificate (if applicable). For persons other than Individuals, in additional to the above mentioned information, PAN details and contact details of the Principal contact are required.
What happens if I don’t register?
Answer: Without Registration, the user cannot e-File the Income Tax Return. Also, additional services like Viewing 26AS Statement, status of Income Tax Return, File Rectification, Refund re-issue request, etc cannot be availed. The registration needs to be done only once.
Should Registration be made in the name of the Company or can a director register in his/her name and file the Income Tax Return of the company from his/her User ID?
Answer: No. A company’s PAN is required to be registered on ITD e-filing website for uploading the Income Tax Return of the company. The same applies for Firms, LLP, AOP, BOI, Local Authority, Trust, Artificial Juridical Person and Co-operative society.
What do I do next after registration?
Answer: After registration, ITD will send an activation link on the registered email ID of the taxpayer. Once the taxpayer clicks on the link, the User ID of the taxpayer becomes functional. Now, the taxpayer can login into ITD e-filing website. Therefore, taxpayer is advised to provide a valid e-mail ID during registration process.
In case, taxpayer has entered the wrong email-id during registration and taxpayer is not able to activate the User ID, what is to be done by taxpayer to activate the account?
Answer:
- Click on the ‘Resend Activation Link’ found on the Login page of e-filing website (click ‘Login Here’ button under Registered User section on the right hand side of the home page).
- On the page, select the User type and enter details like PAN, Date of Birth/ Incorporation, Password and new e-mail ID. Note: In addition, a Chartered Accountant needs to enter the Membership Number and Enrollment Date.
- The Activation link is sent to the new e-mail ID. Click on the Activation link. If you do not click the activation link, the registration process is incomplete.
