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.

Should you Roll Over 1 year Fixed Maturity Plans?

The period between January and March typically sees an uptick in the launch of fixed maturity plans, or FMPs. Not this year. Instead, fund houses are busy rolling over or extending the tenure of their one- year FMPs launched last year to three years. Investors in one- year FMPs have a choice. Either redeem units or roll over to three years. If you exit now, your gains will be added to your income and taxed in line with your individual slab rate of 10, 20 or 30 per cent. If you stay invested for two more years, you pay 20 per cent tax with indexation benefit. Yields have softened in the past few months on expectations of a rate cut. If the central bank continues its soft monetary stance, yields are likely to fall further. In such a scenario, it makes sense for investors, particularly those in the 30 per cent tax bracket, to roll over their investments and lock in at a higher yield now. In a surprise move, the Reserve Bank of India cut repo rate by 25 basis
