E-filing Vault

 

E-filing vault makes your tax e-filing account safer


Your e-filing account, which keeps a lot of your financial information in one place, can be vulnerable to security threats. E-filing vault comes into play here




Almost all your dealings with the tax department-such as filing tax returns, replying to tax notices, and tracking your refunds-can be done through the income tax department's e-filing website www.incometaxefiling.gov.in. For this, you need to have an account on the website. However, having all the information online can leave you vulnerable to frauds. Therefore, security of your tax filing account-which has all your vital financial information-is of utmost importance. While the e-filing website is secure, you or anyone else can login to it using details such as your Permanent Account Number (PAN), date of birth and password. This is where the e-filing vault comes in and adds a second layer of authentication, to prevent unauthorised access to your account.


Additional security
E-filing accounts contain details such as your PAN, address, bank details, tax deducted at source, income tax returns filed, and movable and immovable assets if your taxable income is more than Rs 50 lakh a year. The e-filing vault helps keep this information secure, because it adds a second layer of authentication apart from login ID and password. The dual-factor authentication ensures a higher degree of security. This facility is similar the process of authenticating banking transactions using one-time passwords (OTPs) or a specified digits from your card.




























To use the e-vault facility, you need to login to your tax e-filing account and under the 'Profile settings' tab, go to 'E-filing Vault-higher security'. Click this option and then login using any one of the more secure methods, such as: Aadhaar linkage to generate OTP; Net banking; demat account electronic verification code (EVC), bank account EVC, or Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). Once you choose your mode, the next time you login, an additional check of OTP using Aadhaar net banking, bank or demat account or DSC will be applicable. For example, if you choose net banking, you would need to login to your net banking account to access the e-filing portal. For using options like Aadhaar, DSC, bank or demat account, you need to register these details with your e-filing account.


Managing the vault
On the same 'E-filing vault-higher security' page, you can choose how you would like to reset your password if you forget it. All the above-mentioned options for adding a layer of security to the login process are also available changing passwords. One can choose the process of resetting the password using one or more options of these options. This is to ensure that no one else can reset your password, even if the secret question answer or e-filing OTP is known.


To deactivate this secure login, go to 'Profile settings', click 'E-filing vault-higher security' and deselect the 'Login through- Aadhaar linkage to generate OTP; Net banking; Demat Account EVC, Bank Account EVC, or DSC' option. When you click 'Proceed', you would have deactivated secure login.

Surrender ULPPs

  ICICI Pru LifeTime and ICICI Pru Lifestage are Unit Linked Pension Plans. Such insurance linked retirement plans are neither good investments nor do they offer sufficient insurance cover. As you can see, these have turned out to be bad deals. In the Lifetime plan, the fund value is not even equal to the total premiums that you have paid and in the Lifestage plan your return is just about 6% which is quite low. The mortality charges are as per your age which is why they have increased. Moreover, once these plans matures, you will have to compulsorily opt for annuity (regular income) and the annuity rates are generally modest. Assuming these plans mature in the next one year, it will be wise to surrender the plan now and curb your future commitments.   Before you choose to buy a term plan, you have to consider a few points. You need to insure yourself, only during the time you are working and your family is financially dependent on you. At the age of 59, not all insurance companies w...

NPS Investment Choice for Safe Investors

Invest NPS Online       Whether they invested through SIPs or put in a lump sum amount, risk-averse individ uals have earned the highest returns. These are investors who stayed away from stocks and divided their NPS corpus between G class gilt funds and C class corporate debt funds. On average, gilt funds have given 9.75% annualised returns while corporate debt funds have churned out more than 11% in the past five years. As a result, the average return for ultra-safe investors in the past five years is in double digits. Even in the short term, ultrasafe investors have been the biggest gainers among NPS investors. Will the good times continue? The gilt funds of NPS are holding long-term bonds with an average maturity of over 19 years and a modified duration of about 9 years.These funds have done well because interest rate cuts have pushed down bond yields. But experts say this trend will not stay forever. NPS is a long-term investment and the bonds are predominantly held to matu...

Buy Health Insurance Plan even if you are covered with my Employer

Buy Health Insurance Plan Online Yes, getting a private insurance cover now, which extends beyond your retirement age, is recommended There are a few reasons why buying a health insurance plan may make sense even though you get medical insurance from your employer. Here are the points you need to think about. Firstly, your employer's insurance coverage will only protect you as long as you are employed with the company. The policy will terminate when you quit the job or when you retire. Post retirement is perhaps the phase when one needs it the most but you won't have it then. Moreover, buying a new insurance policy after the age of 50 means that there will be no coverage for pre-existing diseases.   Lastly, health insurance policy you get from your employer may or may not cover your dependants. ------------------------------ ----------------- Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax under Section 80C.

SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP ONLINE

Invest SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP ONLINE   SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP fund didn't fare well in its initial years but, in recent years, has steadily improved its performance under the capable hands of its current fund manager. Although investing predominantly in mid-cap stocks, the average market capitalisation of its portfolio is lower than other category peers.   Although the stock selection approach is mostly bottom-up , the fund manager doesn't shy away from taking bold sector bets , as is reflected in its large exposure to the healthcare sector. She is equally adept at handling performance across market cycles--the fund has captured more of the upside during market upticks and contained the downside during downturns in a better manner than its peers.   Given its superior risk-reward equation, the fund is a worthy pick in its category.     ----------------------------------------------- Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax under Section 80C.
