To ease the process of e-filing, the department has added several features to the new portal, including the facility to generate a static password.
Static Password: The Income Tax Department launched its new portal on 7 June 2021 at the beginning of last month. This new portal has been developed to make it easier for taxpayers to file ITR (Income Tax Return). To ease the process of e-filing, the department has added several features to the new portal, including the facility to generate a static password. This feature is very useful for people who face network connection problems or do not have access to mobile phones. In the absence of a good network, getting a One Time Password (OTP) or Electronic Verification Code (EVC) code is a very difficult task, in which case Static Password emerges as a better feature.
Generate Static Password like this
- Log on to the new income tax portal https://www.incometax.gov.in/.
- After logging in, click on My Profile under the Profile page.
- In the menu on the left, the option of Generate Static Password will appear, click on it.
- Please read all the instructions carefully before clicking on it.
- A new generated static password will be generated on the registered mail id.
- Taxpayers will be given 10 static passwords at a time and any one can be used for login.
- However, also note that a password cannot be reused and will be valid only for 30 days.
