I have forgotten my password. What is to be done to retrieve it?

Answer: Click on the forget password link from the login page in ITD e-filing website. In the password reset page, one of the following can be selected by the taxpayers:

Enter the answer to the secret question, taxpayer has entered in the registration details. OR

Enter the A.Y. and acknowledgement number of any of earlier e-filed return by the taxpayer since A.Y. 2007-08

Enter the new password twice and also the CAPTCHA CODE appearing on the screen. Click on Reset Password to reset the password of your user id.

Further if do not have either, send a email request from registered email-id, which taxpayer has entered in the registration profile, tovalidate @ incometaxindia.gov.in having following details

PAN,

Name of the assessee as appearing in the PAN card,

Date of Birth / Date of incorporation,

Name of the Father as appearing in the PAN card

Address

Mobile number

Registered email id.

The ITD will send its response via email.

In case, taxpayer has entered the wrong email-id during registration and taxpayer is not able to activate its user id, what is to be done by taxpayer to activate the account?

Answer: Kindly send an e-mail request to validate @ incometaxindia.gov.infor activation of your user-id with the following details required for registration

PAN

First Name

Middle Name

Last Name

Date of Birth/Date of Incorporation

Father’s First Name

Father’s Middle Name

Father’s Last Name

Address

Phone

Email id

Once the user-id is activated by the ITD, kindly login on the ITD e-filing website and go to My Account to update the email-id, mobile number, answer to the secret question etc. to avoid this problem in future
