To facilitate this, a utility has been launched on the e-filing portal, which can be accessed through the following link:

The above link is live and accessible to all stakeholders from 04.02.2026 on the e-filing portal. Stakeholders can submit their inputs by entering their name and mobile number, followed by an OTP-based validation process.
All suggestions should clearly specify the relevant provision of the proposed Income-tax Rules or the proposed Form no (including the specific rule, sub-rule, or form number) to which the recommendation pertains under the aforementioned four categories.
