How to activate or deactivate ERI for ITR Filing?

In order to file income tax return (ITR) in India under automated process, taxpayer need to add the profile to an ERI (e-Return Intermediary) as a client, aka Add Client functionality. This document covers both deactivation and activation or change of an ERI on Govt. income tax portal.


Who is ERI ?

ERI stands for e-Return Intermediary who are authorised entities to act as an intermediary between the Client (taxpayer) and the Income Tax Department (ITD in short). ITR eFiling portals like EZTax.in offers end-end tax filing functionality through IT Department authorised APIs.

There are three types of ERIs authorised by ITD

  • Type-1: This type of approval is given to a Tax Consultant to access information and prepare taxes on-behalf of a Client using Govt ITD Portal. The consultant have to use Govt utilities and portal to prepare and eFile.
  • Type-2: This is typically given to Company ERI, who offer end-end, comprehensive tax filing solution through their software or an Online Portal. This includes eFiling directly from the ERI Portal. ITD authorise this type of access only after a thorough data security certification from the company. This type of ERI access mandates highest data security standards, zero-tolerance security integration.
  • Type-3: Generally given to software utility development companies to generate JSON file to use with the Govt ITD Portal. This access neither allow any direct access from ITD database nor allow the client to eFile. Just to use as a Utility Developer.

EZTax.in ITR Portal is authorised for both Type-2 and Type-3 access, to facilitate end-end highly secured IT Filing experience. You may access Self-Service IT Filing Portal
