go to incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in

then go for log in

choose forgot password, then it will ask for pan, then put previous year acknowledgment no. and fill necessary details.

on correct information it will ask to put new password.

If you have lost your e-filing password and you have not filed any return till now, then you should adopt the following procedure :

Write a mail to ask @ incometaxindia.gov.in about you have lost your password,

write your Name, father's name, PAN no. and Date of Birth as on PAN Card in that mail.

They will surely to send you new password.

Please can somebody tell me about, how long does it normally take to retrieve the password if a mail is written to ask @ incometaxindia.gov.in? We have a new client who had filed last years return manually though he is registered on incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in, however he does not remember the secret question and also the email id which is registered with the department. So there is no question of reseting the password through the site as the relevant details are not available. A mail was written to ask @ incometaxindia.gov.in two days back, but no response is received as of now. Is there any other procedure or follow up that needs to be done? Please guide, thanks in advance.

agree with Mr. Ganeshbabu, alternatively you can write an email to validate @ incometaxindia.gov.in, giving the details such as

PAN:-
NAME:
ADDRESS:
DATE OF INCORPORATION/ BIRTH:
CONTACT NUMBER:
EMAIL:
REASON:

You will receive a new password within two days.
