SUB: Income-tax Department thanks the taxpayers for making e-enabled initiatives a success

The Income Tax Department would like to acknowledge and thank the taxpayer for the widespread support for its e-Governance initiatives.
The taxpayers have come forward in greater numbers for e-filing of returns in the current year. In the Financial Year (F.Y.) 2015-16, the Department has received 2.06 crore returns on the e-filing portal as on 07.09.2015 which is an increase of 26.12% over the corresponding period of the preceding the F.Y. 2014-15, when 1.63 crore returns were e-filed. The peak filing rate in the F.Y. 2015-16 touched 3,475 returns per minute as compared to 2,901 returns per minute in the F.Y. 2014-15.
To facilitate the taxpayers by providing end-to-end e-enabled services and reduce compliance burden, the Department offered the facility of electronic verification of Income Tax Return for the A.Y. 2015-16 through an electronic verification code (EVC). In the short period since its introduction, 32.95 lakh e-returns have been verified through EVC. Use of EVC has dramatically reduced the time taken for processing of e -filed returns for the A.Y. 2015-16. As on 07.09.2015 Central Processing Centre had processed 45.18 lakh returns relating to the A.Y. 2015-16 and issued refunds to 22.14 lakh tax payers who had claimed refunds for the A.Y.2015-16.
The Department remains committed to improving taxpayer services through enhanced use and further improvement in technologies.
