Further, on technical glitches in Income Tax portal she assured that it will be largely fixed in the next few days. “I have been constantly reminding Infosys about the issue,” said Sitharaman. 

The new income tax e-filing portal ‘www.incometax.gov.in’ had a bumpy start from the day of its launch on June 7 as it continued to face technical glitches.
