but when I am clicking on 'forgot password' link, I am not being asked for last years acknowledgement no. Only secret question and its answer is being asked which I dont remember.

How is bl**dy responsible for this kind of nonsense, for simple work we have to wait for 72 hr or more then that

So plz can anybody suggest me who is in charge of this system & their address, so that I can contact my lawyer and send them notice, asking them to solve this problem permanently

I will be waiting for reply

Thank you

WHEN YOU GO TO INCOME TAX EFILING SITE THEN JUST CLICK ON FORGOT PASSWORD

AND ENTRE YOUR PAN NO, THEN SITE REQUIRED YOU TO SELECT ONE OPTION EITHER TO SELECT SECRET QUESTION OR TO SELECT ACKNOWLEDGE NO OF PAST RETURNS . IF YOU KNOW THE QUESTION & ANSWER THEN CHOOSE 1ST OPTION OTHERWISE 2ND. AND RESET THE PASSWORD.
