The Income Tax Department of India has introduced a new facility called the "E-filing Vault" to provide additional security for taxpayer e-filing accounts. The E-filing Vault allows taxpayers to add multi-factor authentication for logging into their accounts by requiring OTPs through Aadhaar linkage, net banking login, or using a digital signature certificate. It also allows taxpayers to add additional security to the password reset process. This provides a higher level of security than just a username and password. Soon, additional options using ATM, bank account, or demat account validation will be added to the E-filing Vault as well.
