Income tax returns website fiasco: Fix glitches by Sep 15, Govt tells Infosys

The income tax returns website has been suffering glitches ever since it was launched recently. There was even a massive outage just a few days ago. In this situation, when a solution was taking too long to be rolled out, the Finance Ministry called Infosys CEO Salil Parekh to Delhi for a meeting on Monday. The contract for the new Income Tax returns website was given to Infosys. During this meeting, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman expressed “deep disappointment” over the glitches that continue to bedevil the income tax e-filing portal and ordered software provider Infosys to fix all problems being faced by taxpayers on the e-filing portal by September 15.
