In a memorandum, AIFTP national president Narayan Jain and Direct Tax Representation Committee chairman S M Surana said floods in several states have severely impacted the process of filing returns. Landslides in Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh have further compounded these difficulties, they added.

The memorandum also claimed persistent problems with the Income Tax portal and software, including difficulties in downloading and verifying various forms.

Additionally, they said the process of paying self-assessment tax through banks and downloading challans is time-consuming.
