RISKS AND CHALLENGES

 intimations,
notices,
orders, etc.
• On E-Filing website of Income Tax Department ONLY 1 email ID could be
registered per assessee. Thus Communication from department reaches to only
1 person of your organisation.

5. • Generally the Email Ids provided on the website by the assessee are those of its
accountants or some rarely used Email IDs.

HOW IT WORKS
• All the concerned group members receive every communication made by the
Income Tax Department.
• Since all the group members receive the mails, chances of it getting unnoticed
are lessened to a great extent.
• You may even add the email ID of your Tax advisors in the group so that they
get intimated regarding all the communications served by the department.

9. • The mails are received on the individual mail id of all the members of the
concerned group INSTEAD of One Single Id.

ADVANTAGES
• Tracking of every communication becomes easy for the assesse.
• Thus, it ensures receipt of important mails to all members.
• Consequently reply of the same is also made timely. Such replies are
monitored by each and every member of such group.

10. In current scenario wherein more emphasis is given on communication
through emails, it is necessary to keep track of each and every mail received as
well as making a quick response to the same. Any inattention to an important
mail may result in financial loss to the assesse. Thus, it is recommended by us
to switch over from registering of different email ids for your various entities
on the e-filing site of Income Tax Department to registering of a single group
id on the said site.
