In a bid to enable a smoother and faster experience for taxpayers, the Income Tax Department has now rolled out a lite e-filing option on the main e-filing website: https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/, as per a PTI report.
“The Income Tax department is launching ‘e-Filing Lite’, a lighter version of e-Filing portal with a focus on filing of Income Tax Return (ITR) by the taxpayers,” said an advisory released by the department.
The ‘e-Filing Lite’ option is present right at the home page of the e-filing website. Once the user clicks on the button and log in, they are taken to a page which only has essential information and links.
The lite e-filing option will allow the user to file their income tax returns online and fill in the TDS credit form (Form 26AS), but some other features like e-proceeding, e-compliance, etc will only be available on the standard version.
The last date for filing returns for the 2018-19 assessment year is now 31 August.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
