In a significant development aimed at improving the overall user experience and functionality of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ( ITAT ) website, the platform has recently undergone a migration to a new server. According to an official announcement displayed on the portal, the migration process began this week and is expected to take approximately 3-4 days to complete.
The update is part of an ongoing effort to enhance the infrastructure supporting the ITAT’s online services, particularly its widely used e-filing portal. During this transitional period, users have been cautioned that certain sections of the website, including the e-filing portal, may not perform optimally. Some pages may temporarily display outdated data until the migration is fully finalized.
This is a common challenge faced during server migration processes, where disruptions can occur as data is transferred and systems are tested for functionality.
“We have just migrated to a new server,” the message on the ITAT website reads. “We are currently in the process of migrating data and files from our current system to the new server, which may take about 3-4 days to complete.”

This temporary inconvenience is expected to be outweighed by the long-term benefits of the upgrade, which aims to make the platform more efficient, scalable, and secure. Server migrations are typically initiated to improve system capacity and performance, ensuring the ITAT website can handle an increasing volume of users. This is particularly relevant as the Indian tax framework sees growing reliance on online services for tax filing, appeals, and resolutions.
The ITAT has also expressed its gratitude to users for their patience and understanding during this period. “We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we are making every effort to ensure a smooth transition and restore normal operations as soon as possible,” the message further stated.
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal is a quasi-judicial body in India that resolves disputes between taxpayers and the Income Tax Department. It plays a crucial role in the adjudication process, providing a platform for appeals related to income tax assessments and other tax-related disputes. With the increasing number of appeals and cases handled by the ITAT, maintaining an up-to-date and reliable online portal is essential for ensuring timely access to information and services.

Once the migration is complete, users expect the website and its services, including the e-filing portal, to operate more smoothly, offering a better experience for everyone involved in tax litigation.
