Trouble Shooting Guide for Problems in accessing – incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in
Issue1 – Internet service from ISP (internet service provider) is not available or failing intermittently.
Resolution- The call centre of ISP needs to be contacted for resolving this issue.
Issue 2 – The internet connection is working, other websites are opening properly but incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in not opening properly.
Resolution- You may try the following fixes:
Check your Windows HOSTS file – Make sure there’s no entry in the hosts file that maps the website’s URL (incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in) to localhost or 127.0.0.1 or an incorrect IP address – it is a possibility if you have imported some third-party hosts file or it’s modified by some malicious software installed in the computer.
Type cmd /k notepad c:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts in the Run window to view hosts file
Clear DNS Cache and use Public DNS – The DNS cache keeps a record of sites that you have recently visited on your computer. If that gets corrupted, you may have issues opening sites that were previously accessible without problems including incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in
Type cmd /k ipconfig /displaydns in the Run window to see the cache entries.
If that unreachable website is listed in the cache, type cmd /k ipconfig /flushdns to clear the cache.
Change the DNS of the network connection which you are using in your local PC. You can do this by editing the properties of the internet connection. Two most recommended DNS’ are Google DNS (e.g. 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 4.2.2.2) and open DNS.
Suspend the Anti-Virus and Firewall – If you are running an external software firewall or anti-virus program (like Norton, ZoneAlarm, etc), exit and restart the web browser.
Restart the internet connection.

Since so many days Nimmi (FM Seetharaman) is telling to file returns without waiting for the last minute. She knows the capacity of her website. And you complain now. She means only revenue, not your difficulties.

While filing in ITR-1, most of us are struck while entering the income from other sources, viz., interest income as it asks to ‘ensure filling TDS2’; when we don’t have TDS on interest. Best thing is to ignore it and continue.
Next version should take care of this by substituting ‘ensure filling TDS2 with ‘fill TDS, if any’.
It is advisable to save the draft frequently and easy to continue, thereafter.
The session expire incident happen with me too. I then reset cookies and resolved issues. Also do agree on extension for 30 days.
While filling the form online, session expires and we are logged off after every 10 minutes, even after pressing the button Save Draft, Session is timed out and all entries are lost. Please help.
As the number itself indicates, extension of filing of Return upto 5.8.13 is welcome step.
