Finance minister asks Infosys to fix all issues on new I-T portal on priority; 5 glitches to be resolved in a week

NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday asked Infosys to fix all issues on the new Income Tax portal immediately, while the software major said at least five technical glitches, including viewing past ITRs and e-proceedings, are expected to be resolved within a week.

As numerous glitches have continued to mar the functioning of the new Income Tax efiling portal for two weeks since its launch on June 7, the finance ministry had called Infosys — the vendor which developed the site — for a meeting to hear out stakeholder concerns and suggest remedial measures for fixing the issues.

The ministry had received more than 700 emails from stakeholders detailing over 2,000 issues, including 90 unique issues/problems with the new portal.
