The ITD issues notice to identified persons for the non-filing of ITR on the compliance portal. The department uses an e-verification facility to narrow down the persons who are liable to file ITR but have yet to do it. Therefore, Compliance Portal helps the taxpayers and the department to identify cases of non-filing of return. The taxpayer must respond on the compliance portal as to the return has been filed or if it is in the process of filing.
