"There were reports in certain social media that the taxpayers are facing difficulties in filing return of income in ITR 2 and ITR 3 due to large scale changes in the ITR form on July 11," it said. The CBDT said that the software utility for e-filing of all the ITR forms has been released long back. It clarified that the updating of utility does not hamper filing of return as the taxpayers are allowed to file using the utility, which is available at that point of time The CBDT explained that the updation in the utility of ITR forms is based on feedback and mainly aimed at easing the compliance burden of the taxpayers by facilitating easier e-filing.
