Many of them took on social media to vent their frustration because they face problems and at the same time submit their income tax (ITR) for assessing the year 2025-26. Netizens complained that the ITR portal was down and the servers were “dead”. Several of them also hit the government for extending the due date for the ITR only one day, because the problems persisted.
“The gentlemen! CBDT has expanded the term ITR by 1 whole day, just to check if their unnecessary portal works after another 24 hours. What success … what shame,” the user of the social media published in X.
Meanwhile, the X account urged the government to consider the extension for a few more days. “We are professionals, not a beggar 🙏,” he read the post.
Another applied for the intervention of the Minister of Finance Nirmala Sitharaman and Prime Minister Narendry Modi and on Monday claimed that the ITR portal “doesn’t work since 4 days and is dead today!”
One even compared itr-e-falling with Irctc Tatkal reservation. “Most of the year: #irctc is terrible. Dadkal reservation never works, the site’s performance is angry. ITR: #itr e-filling sit SUCS.
One person explained why most people demanded an extension of the ITR.
“Most people do not ask for an extension because they wake up at the last minute – they ask, because the portal simply does not work properly. People have work, responsibilities and deadlines. They cannot afford to sit idle for hours just hope that the portal will load,” he said.
The user also claimed that “Infosys operated with electronic administration portal collapsed during load-Logins failed, payments broke, filed. Taxpayers call it mockery, not relief.”
Many taxpayers also faced similar problems on Tuesday, September 16). “And it is still the same, even after the maintenance of the site. So what is the purpose of extending one more day. I can’t go to the next step from this page. Help me solve this problem,” one person said.
