There were reports in social media that the taxpayers were facing difficulties in filing return of income in ITR-2 &amp; ITR-3 due to large scale changes in the ITR form on 11-07-2019.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is stated that the software utility for e-filing of all the ITR forms has been released long back. The utility for e-filing ITR-2 and ITR-3 was released on 2nd May and on 10th \u00a0May 2019 respectively. However, the software utility update is a dynamic process and is continuously taken up as per the feedback received from the users\/filers to ease their experience in electronic filing of returns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is further 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. For example, more than 85 lakh taxpayers have filed returns in ITR-1 till date by using the said utility, which has also undergone update later. Therefore, the impression that the taxpayers are not able to file a return due to changes in ITR form is also not correct as more than 1.38 crore taxpayers have already filed their returns by using the utility released till date. Even though the utility is being updated regularly to provide ease to taxpayers, the returns filed by using the previous version of utility will continue to be valid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is pertinent to state that the updation in utility of ITR forms is based on feedback and mainly aimed at easing the compliance burden of the taxpayers by facilitating easier e-filing. For instance, this year, the facility of pre-filling of return forms has been provided based on the information furnished in the TDS statements. This facility has been updated in the utility subsequently. This would substantially reduce the efforts of taxpayers in filling of return forms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is reiterated that there are no changes in the notified ITR forms; only the utility has been updated to facilitate the taxpayers. Therefore, the assertion that numerous changes have been made in ITR-2 and ITR-3 on 11-07-2019, does not give a correct picture.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">[Press Release dt. 16-07-2019]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ministry of Finance<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has said that no changes have been made in any of the Income-tax Return (ITR) forms <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8808,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1188,2],"tags":[29414,31159,36659,36660],"class_list":["post-216971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hot_off_the_press","category-news","tag-cbdt","tag-income-tax-returns","tag-taxpayers","tag-tds-statements"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Clarification issued by CBDT on -- Incorrect reports on social media pertaining to difficulty in filing IT Returns | SCC Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2019\/07\/17\/clarification-issued-by-cbdt-on-incorrect-reports-in-social-media-pertaining-to-difficulty-in-filing-it-returns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Clarification issued by CBDT on -- Incorrect reports on social media pertaining to difficulty in filing IT Returns\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has said that no changes have been made in any of the Income-tax Return (ITR) forms\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2019\/07\/17\/clarification-issued-by-cbdt-on-incorrect-reports-in-social-media-pertaining-to-difficulty-in-filing-it-returns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SCC Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/scc.online\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-07-17T07:02:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-07-17T07:08:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/mof-647_022117042319.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1330\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"887\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Bhumika Indulia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Bhumika Indulia\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.scconline.com\\\/blog\\\/post\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/17\\\/clarification-issued-by-cbdt-on-incorrect-reports-in-social-media-pertaining-to-difficulty-in-filing-it-returns\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.scconline.com\\\/blog\\\/post\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/17\\\/clarification-issued-by-cbdt-on-incorrect-reports-in-social-media-pertaining-to-difficulty-in-filing-it-returns\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Bhumika Indulia\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.scconline.com\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/919ec47cc1b871b362af05740398033a\"},\"headline\":\"Clarification issued by CBDT on &#8212;
