Ho Ho I find someone sympathetic enough on New Portal or are they prompted by Infosys to give a good account of the portal. The woes of many are unresolved. As per the portal I am yet be born. My DOB is 15-07-3049.
I have to search the Log Out button which is hidden under my name in the right corner.
The details of Aadhaar shown belongs to someone else.
I am still wondering how to file ITR-1 because at one place Aadhaar NOT LINKED and when I try to link it says ALREADY LINKED.
