The current Project IEC 2.0 of the Income-tax department, which has been instrumental in enabling taxpayers to file returns, submit statutory forms, and access a variety of services is nearing the end of its operations phase. Accordingly, the department has initiated the process for the next phase, Project IEC 3.0, which aims not only to maintain the services provided by its predecessor but also to introduce significant improvements that will create a more secure and user-friendly environment for taxpayers.

In this context, the department is conducting wide-ranging consultations with various stakeholders and users of the current system to gather feedback on the positive aspects and short comings of IEC 2.0, as well as insights on potential improvements for IEC 3.0. The department has sought the inputs of ICAI, being a key partner to the Government in providing services to taxpayers.

For submitting its detailed inputs, the Direct Taxes Committee of ICAI invites suggestions from the membership at large and other stakeholders for Project Integrated e-filing and CPC (IEC 3.0).
