As we all know that Form 26AS is very necessary for the taxpayer as well as tax practitioners for E filing purposes. The scope of Form 26AS is widened to a great extent like Prepaid Taxes details, reported AIR Transactions etc.

But unfortunately from today the Facility to view FORM 26AS (Tax Credit) has been withdrawn from www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in.

Now there are only 2 ways to access Form 26AS of the Taxpayer:

Tax payer can now access this facility either with his Registered Login at TDSCPC website , which is a tedious process that requires either Tax deduction details or details of Tax paid or it can be viewed at Online Banking Accounts (few of the banks).

For further updation, you may aware that IFSC details are mandatory input in new ITR Forms instead for erstwhile MICR codes.
