Now, transgenders can file tax online

The income tax e-filing website has been modified to accept returns from those with transgender Aadhaar cards. With two days to go for filing returns for the assessment year 2017-18, transgender persons can now file their income tax returns on the e-filing website of the Department of Income Tax by submitting their Aadhaar numbers. Till now, the website did not accept the Aadhaar numbers of many transgender persons.
