Access to Income Tax portal restored hours after Finance Ministry ‘summons’ to Infosys CEO

The Hindu  

August 22, 2021 02:46 pm | Updated August 23, 2021 01:07 am IST With the new Income Tax filing portal becoming completely inaccessible over the weekend, and yet to become fully functional 77 days after its launch, a furious Finance Ministry summoned Infosys Managing Director and CEO Salil Parekh to explain the mess to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in person on August 23. And just hours after the ‘summons’, the Income Tax portal became accessible again on August 22 evening. The Ministry had launched the ‘taxpayer friendly’ portal developed by Infosys on June 7, promising immediate processing of I-T returns to issue quick refunds to taxpayers, and a host of other features. On August 21 afternoon, Infosys said the I-T portal is ‘currently inaccessible due to planned maintenance’.
