As per a ticker on the new income tax portal, “Alert: Website will not be accessible due to scheduled maintenance activity from Saturday 23rd Oct 10.00PM to Sunday 24th Oct 10.00AM IST.”

Due to this downtime, no one will be able to access the e-filing portal to file your ITR, register as legal heirs, register digital signature for verification of tax return, check information regarding or download Form 26AS etc. These sort of scheduled maintenance is common in banks; even the Reserve Bank of India announces downtime for services like RTGS, NEFT and so on from time to time.
