Frequently Asked Questions

What is the income tax portal's attachment limit?

The e-filing portal generally accepts attachments up to 5MB each - for example in response to notices, rectifications, and grievance submissions. Some specific modules have their own limits, so check the note on the upload screen.

Which tax documents usually need compressing?

Scanned Form 16s, bank statements, investment proofs, and notice replies assembled from multiple scans. Colour scans of multi-page documents routinely exceed 5MB and compress down comfortably.

Is it safe to compress tax documents online?

With EverydayPDF, yes - because they are never actually online. Compression runs inside your browser with zero uploads, so your PAN, income details, and bank data stay on your device.

My notice reply bundle is still over 5MB - what now?

Split the bundle into logical parts with PDF Split (reply letter, annexure set 1, annexure set 2) and upload them as separate attachments where the portal allows multiple files. Also rescan any colour pages in grayscale.
