The department is working for a while to enhance the existing functionalities around IT eFiling Portal towards a new improved e-filing portal that is easier and much secured than the current portal, with an aim towards a role based access and user friendly dashboard style presentation.

The e-Filing portal also expected to provide an easier, wizard based ITR selection and other such features. With pre-validated bank account information and other measures, the department is expected to release the refund using new portal much faster in days rather weeks or months.
