E-ITR were notified recently  and they are available on websites of CBDT

https://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/Pages/downloads/income-tax-return.aspx. I had downloaded various

forms (ITR-1 to  ITR 7 and ITR-V)  on 06.04.2018. Various forms are also available on many websites.

However, these forms for AY 2018-19 are not yet available on e-filing portal.

Without forms being available on e-filing portal one cannot upload  e-itr.

E-ITR FORMS NOT AVAILABLE ON

https://portal.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/e-Filing/MyAccount/OnlineAndUploadItrLink.html?ID=1922879254

From the above page we find that in selection drop list AY 2017-18 is on top. AY  2018-19 is not appearing.

As the ITR form for AY 2018-19 is not available, I could not select AY as a consequence I  cannot proceed for selection of form number and selection for mode of submission. Please see the following screen shot:

Therefore, for all practical purposes, E-ITR forms are not yet available for e-filing.

These should be uploaded on e-filing portal immediately.

My earlier article about extra sheet IN ITR  for explanations and claims:

In my following article

https://www.taxmanagementindia.com/visitor/detail_article.asp?ArticleID=7923&kw=E-ITR-FORM-MUST-HAVE-OPTIONAL-SHEETS-FOR-EXPLANATIONS-AND-FURTHER-CLAIMS-FOR-CONSIDERATION-BY-AO

I had suggested for provision in E-ITR for submissions of explanations and claims for consideration of AO.

In new E-ITR forms for ay 2018-19 also we do not find any facility of a sheet for submission of explanations and claims for consideration by the AO.

I have also sent feed- back through the e-filing portal and by way of emails to the members of CBDT with copy of my article appended in the body of email. Submission details are as follows:

E-ITR FORM MUST HAVE OPTIONAL SHEETS FOR EXPLANATIONS AND FURTHER CLAIMS FOR CONSIDERATION BY AO

On 07.04.2018 I also received a call from CPC Bangalore to confirm that the feed- back has been received and will be forwarded to concerned authorities.

Let us hope CBDT will do needful and provide scope for submission of explanations and further claims in the E-ITR.

I visited the website https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/home on 26.04.2018 at 18:33 hours and I found the following related information:

"14/04/2018
ITR 1 for AY 2018-19 is now available for e-Filing. Other ITRs will be available shortly."

There is long delay in providign ITR forms for efiling.
