Taxpayers facing issues filing form- 15CA & 15CB

The government launched a new tax website to improve the user experience of the taxpayer. However, several glitches and loading issues on the new website are causing troubles for both the Chartered Accountants and taxpayers while generating form 15CA & 15CB.

For instance, some users are reporting failure to log in, and internal links not opening. Furthermore, companies state that they are receiving flack from customers whose overseas transfers are not correctly operating.

As we now know, For overseas transfers, taxpayers need to provide certifications on Form 15CB. Nevertheless, the link is not opening.

As a result, Banks will not release payment to the foreign parties until the person sending foreign remittances gives Form 15CA/CB certificate, and it can be issued only using the income tax portal.

Experts believe these are initial glitches and will be resolved soon. So, companies should patiently wait and get ready forms 15CA & 15CB till then.
