I-T portal faces fresh glitches; CBDT chief assures no breach of data

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has asked Infosys to fix the search-related glitches reported on Tuesday on the tax-filing portal a year after its launch.

This comes after the Income-Tax (I-T) Department got complaints about search functionality on the portal and also that it had been hacked and might pose risks to security.

“It was reported that someone tried to get into the portal. We immediately asked the service provider (Infosys) to look into the concerns raised and fix them on priority,” CBDT Chairperson Sangeeta Singh said on Tuesday on the sidelines of a departmental function.
