Fixing glitches in IT portal single largest priority, says Infosys

Infosys NSE 0.12 % said fixing the glitches in the income tax filing portal was its single largest priority, and that it was working towards solving the issues with the Income Tax department.

“We have added more bandwidth. We have invested (more) leadership (time). I assure you that is the single largest priority for us today, and we are hopeful to address the issues,” said Pravin Rao, chief operating officer, Infosys.

In 2019, Infosys had won a Rs 4,242 crore contract to develop the new income tax filing portal. However, users have complained of several glitches since it was launched on June 7, 2021. This had prompted Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to step in and ask the IT major to resolve the issues immediately.
