The new URL http://incometax.gov.in replaced the long-existing http://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in, and it went live at 8:45 pm, Ms Sitharaman and the tax department said in tweets.
The platform, which received intense traffic since its launch, threw up technical difficulties for users. While some users complained on social media that certain features were taking longer than usual to load in the new portal, others praised the new facilities.
