Income-tax
grievances
to be registered
online soon
NEW DELHI: Taxpayers will now be able to lodge their grievances with the taxman at the click of a mouse, with the launch of an online complaint redressal mechanism on the lines of the existing e-filing facility of tax returns. The facility will soon be available on the official website of the income-tax department. The trial run of this maiden initiative would be completed in the next few months. “The department will now start to register the grievances of the taxpayer on the official portal also, similar to the online filing of tax returns facility,” said a senior I-T official involved in developing the system. The trial run, named ‘Sevottam’, is being experimented in Mumbai and Udaipur, the official said.
