Response on Additional Query Request

When the Income Tax Department (ITD) raises an additional query request on the compliance portal, taxpayers are required to respond promptly. These queries are typically based on previous responses submitted and verified by the department. Therefore, taxpayers must address any additional queries raised to ensure compliance.

The e-verification process of Income Tax Returns (ITRs) aims to determine whether individuals who have not yet filed their returns are liable to do so. The Compliance Portal serves as a vital tool for both taxpayers and the department in identifying cases of non-filing of returns. Consequently, taxpayers must submit responses to queries raised through this platform.
