FAQ :

ICAI has raised concerns about difficulties accessing Form 26AS/AIS/TIS, discrepancies in figures within these statements, limited response options in AIS/TIS, delayed updates in TIS, technical glitches on the e-filing portal, mismatches in pre-filled data, issues with dividend income reflection, error messages during filing, non-receipt of OTPs, and problems downloading filed ITR receipts.

Yes, numerous technical glitches have been reported, including continuous buffering that makes it difficult to complete forms, error messages during filing, and issues with downloading filed ITR receipts.

Some taxpayers are not receiving One Time Passwords (OTPs) promptly or at all, which prevents them from authenticating and submitting their tax returns.
