About Income Tax e-Filing
In our directory, Income Tax e-Filing sits under Government — a category where a half-hour outage is not an inconvenience but a genuine problem for the people mid-task on it. Citizens use it for applications, certificates, tax and identity work, benefit schemes and official records that often carry hard deadlines. Its official home on the web is eportal.incometax.gov.in, which is the address our checker tests on a schedule — if that server stops answering, this page knows before most people finish typing "is Income Tax e-Filing down". For help that cannot wait, we list 4 official contact numbers for Income Tax e-Filing, starting with 18001030025, together with the support e-mail options on the helpline page. Everything on this page — the verdict, the report chart and the contact details — exists to answer one question quickly: is the problem out there, or is it on this device?
Common problems reported for Income Tax e-Filing
- Portal not opening at all — Deadline-day and result-day traffic can overwhelm government servers; the site often returns quietly after the first rush passes.
- Login problem or session expired — Many portals sign you out aggressively and some lock the account after a few wrong attempts.
- Form will not submit — A document upload that is too large, in the wrong format, or a field failing silently is the usual cause.
- "Server busy" or error 500 — The server is up but its application layer is failing under load — a genuine partial outage.
- OTP not received on the registered number — OTP delivery depends on the mobile network and the portal's SMS partner, and both slow down on peak days.
- Payment made but receipt not generated — The fee settled at the bank but the portal did not get the confirmation; most portals reconcile these within a day or two.
If Income Tax e-Filing is not working — try this
- Check this page first: if reports spike on a deadline or result day, the portal is struggling for everyone, not just you.
- Try early morning or late evening — government portals are dramatically calmer outside office hours.
- Use a desktop browser if the mobile view fails; many portals still work best on a full browser.
- Keep file sizes and formats exactly as the form asks, and rename uploads to simple names without spaces.
- Save the application or acknowledgement number at every stage; it is the only handle support can use.
- Do not pay a fee twice. Give bank-to-portal reconciliation at least a day before paying again.
Other ways to access Income Tax e-Filing
Many services can also be reached through umbrella apps, state-level portals, or the nearest Common Service Centre (CSC), where an operator can complete the same application on the same system. Keep your registered mobile number handy — almost every route ends in an OTP.

Why is Income Tax e-Filing not working today?

The troubleshooting list on this page covers the fixes that actually work, in order.
How can I check if Income Tax e-Filing is down or it is just me?
Three quick tests settle it. First, read the verdict above — a spike in reports means it is not just you. Second, open Income Tax e-Filing on a different network, such as mobile data instead of Wi-Fi. Third, try a second device or the website instead of the app. If it fails everywhere while reports climb, it is a genuine outage; if it works elsewhere, the fault is local.
When will Income Tax e-Filing be back up?
Nobody outside Income Tax e-Filing can promise a time, and providers rarely give one. In practice, most partial outages of this kind clear within thirty minutes to a few hours, and peak-hour failures often fade as the rush passes. Watch the report chart on this page: when fresh problem reports stop and "works for me" signals take over, the service is recovering.
How do I contact Income Tax e-Filing customer care?
The main official helpline for Income Tax e-Filing is 18001030025 (toll-free). The helpline page linked here lists every published number with its purpose, plus support e-mail ([email protected]).

Is Income Tax e-Filing down in my city, or across India?
Reports on this page are collected nationally, and most big failures are national too.
