How to Update contact details in Income Tax Department E-Filing Portal

The e-filing portal of the Income Tax Department holds the contact details of the tax payer. Details include taxpayer's mobile number and e- mail id to which communications about e-filing is sent. Here is how one can update and authenticate contact details on the e-filing portal.

The e-filing portal of the Income Tax Department can be accessed at https: incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in

New user

A taxpayer who wishes to register himself on the e-filing portal for the first time needs to provide his mobile number and e-mail ID during registration. An activation link would be sent to the registered e-mail ID and a OTP or PIN shall be sent to the registered mobile number. The taxpayer is required to access his mail and click on the link provided in the e-mail. He needs to enter the OTP received in the mobile number for successful activation of the registered user in e-filing portal.

Registered user

A registered user can update mobile number and email id by logging into the e-filing account. Once logged in, the tax payer is required to update current mobile number and email id. Once the details are submitted, two OTPs or PINs are sent to the new mobile number and email id. Both these numbers, PIN 1 and PIN 2 received on the new mobile number and email id respectively, are required to be entered to authenticate new number and email ID.

Resending PINs

In case the tax payer does not get the PINs, the taxpayer can click on the "Resend PINs" option. The PINs once received are valid for 24 hours. The taxpayers are advised to validate the contact details using the PINs received within 24 hours. If PINs are not validated within 24 hours, the taxpayer has to login and follow the same procedure as above again.

Points to note

The taxpayer is allowed to enter any other person's email or mobile number in addi tion as a secondary contact.

It helps to include emails from the Income Tax Department in the `safe list' maintained in the tax payer's email id to prevent com munications from IT Department from being blocked or sent to spam folder.
