NPS has introduced new login rule to access your NPS Account


With a new financial year (FY2024-'25) starting from Monday, April 1, several key decisions implemented by the government related to personal finance, investment schemes and tax regimes will come into force. Among the many fiscal matters to come into force are also key changes within the National Pension Scheme (NPS).

The National Pension Scheme (NPS) is a voluntary and long-term investment plan for retirement. Earlier, the scheme covered only central government employees but now it is open to all Indian citizens on a voluntary basis.

The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has introduced a new security layer in the National Pension System (NPS). It will come into effect from April 1 and has a two-factor Aadhaar-based authentication system, that is mandatory for all password-based users logging into the CRA system.

“To enhance the security measures in accessing the CRA system and safeguard the interests of subscribers and stakeholders, it has been decided to bring in additional security features through Aadhaar-based authentication for login to the CRA system," PFRDA said in a notification.

The Aadhaar-based login authentication will be integrated with the current user ID and password-based login process so as to make the CRA system accessible through 2 Factor Authentication," the body explained.

What you can do if ITR filed but not E-varified

 Question 1:

I filed my Original ITR u/s 139(1) on 30th July 2023 but not yet verified. Can I Discard it?

Response:
Yes, user can avail the option of “Discard” for the ITRs being filed u/s 139(1) /139(4) / 139(5) if they do
not want to verify it. User is provided a facility to file an ITR afresh after discarding the previous 
unverified ITR. However, if the “ITR filed u/s 139(1)” is Discarded and the subsequent return is filed after the due date u/s 139(1), it would attract implications of belated return like 234F etc., Thus, it is advised to  check whether the due date for filing the return u/s 139(1) is available or not before discarding any previously filed return.

Is the ITR filing date extended | Income Tax Return Due Date AY 2023-24:Last Date Extension

According to Section 234F of the Income Tax Act of 1961, anyone who file their ITRs late must pay a fine of up to Rs 5,000. Small taxpayers must pay a fine of Rs 1,000 if their annual taxable income is less than Rs 5 lakh.

The deadline to file Income Tax Return without penalty is July 31, 2023, i.e, today. Taxpayers can contact the tax department’s helpdesk which is open all day today to assist taxpayers with ITR filing, tax payment, and other associated services. The assistance is done over the phone, live chat, Webex meetings, and social media.

Will ITR deadline get extended?
