Income Tax 2025: Form ITR-B Now Available Online for Taxpayers Who Received Notices Under Section 158BC

Income Tax 2025: Form ITR-B Now Available Online for Taxpayers Who Received Notices Under Section 158BC

The Income Tax Department has now opened the portal for taxpayers who received notices under Section 158BC of the Income Tax Act, 1961, during block assessment for filing ITR-B online.

This block assessment process is conducted by the income tax department, in which the department investigates an individual’s home, business, or office and identifies income or assets and sends them a notice under Section 158BC. In this situation, taxpayers who received notices are required to file ITR-B, which is used for declaring undisclosed income for a block period (usually 6 years).

Earlier, taxpayers needed to file their ITR-B manually at the office of the Income Tax Department, which often led to delays and trouble for taxpayers and also for the department. Hence, the department has now opened the portal for filing ITR-B online. The form can now be submitted via the e-Proceedings tab at the Income Tax Portal. This move will not only help in saving time but also reduce paperwork and ensure transparency in the compliance process.

KIND ATTENTION TAXPAYERS!

Taxpayers who have received notice under Section 158BC can now submit Form ITR-B via the e-Proceeding tab on the Income Tax portal.
