Order Giving Effect (OGE) New Functionalty on Income Tax Portal Started

This is for taxpayers in India who have won an appeal against an income tax assessment. Here’s a breakdown:

When you appeal an income tax assessment and win, the tax department needs to update their records to reflect the appeal’s outcome. This is done through an Order Giving Effect (OGE).
The OGE formally acknowledges the appeal’s decision and instructs the tax authorities to make the necessary changes to your tax records, which may include revising your tax liability or issuing a refund.

You need to file for an OGE if you have won an appeal and the tax department hasn’t yet issued the OGE on their own.

Log in to the income tax e-filing portal: Go to the official income tax e-filing website: https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/
Navigate to “Services”: Once logged in, find the “Services” tab on the portal’s menu.
Select “Request for Order Giving Effect (OGE)”: Within the “Services” section, you should find an option to request an OGE. Click on it.
Fill out the form: You’ll need to provide details about your appeal, including the assessment year, appeal order details, and any other relevant information.
Submit the request: After filling out the form, submit your request online.

Keep records: Make sure to keep copies of your appeal order and the OGE request for your records.
Follow up: If you don’t receive the OGE within a reasonable time, you may want to follow up with the income tax department.

Income Tax Department website: The official income tax website (https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/) is the best source for accurate and up-to-date information.
Tax professionals: If you need assistance with filing for an OGE, consider consulting a tax professional.

Please remember: Tax laws and procedures can change. Always refer to the official income tax website for the latest information.
