FAQ :
The ICAI has highlighted frequent login failures, delayed OTP delivery, forced logouts, slow portal speeds, "Service Unavailable" errors, difficulties uploading Tax Audit Reports (Form 3CA-3CD/3CB-3CD), problems with DSC affixing, and issues uploading voluminous TDS data.
The deadline for filing tax audit reports and Income Tax Returns (ITRs) is September 30, 2025.
The glitches are significantly hindering taxpayers' ability to file their tax audit reports and ITRs on time. This has resulted in a much lower number of tax audit reports filed compared to the previous year, and incorrect interest and fee calculations are also being applied.
Problems have been noted with uploading Tax Audit Reports (Form 3CA-3CD/3CB-3CD), Excel utilities for ITR-5 and ITR-7, and Form 10AB for trust renewals, including issues with OTP and DSC verification.
The ICAI has requested urgent measures from the CBDT to resolve these technical issues and has proposed a personal meeting to discuss solutions for a smoother filing process.
