Re: [AI] Fwd: Please comment on accessibility of the Income Tax website

2016-04-06 Thread Amar Jain 
Just to get things clear: we are talking about incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in

The problems are:

1. The side links are in the form of menus, which do pose a challenge
while accessing with screen readers. This is post the login.

2. Filling ITR with Java utility is still not accessible, and last
year there was a proposal to drop out the excel utility which never
happened actually.

3. The captcha audio quality is good, however the play captcha image
needs to be labeled such that it reads the same across browsers.

4. The form 26AS does not have a good table navigation (which would
typically be in the domain of TRACES).  There are other issues with
TRACES such as  their own captcha has no alternate but that can be a
separate discussion.

5. The know your pan and TAN under the services link needs proper
segregation for a screen reader.

Capcha is a problem and the audio capcha also does not help much as
the letters spoken are not clear.

I suggest that, while logging in, OTP option may be given in addition
to the image capcha.

Hi,

I am not sure about experience stating that Income Tax website being
completely inaccessible. But I am having quite a different view here.
May be, my purpose was met, so I might have not gone in depth..
Last year (in 2015) I tried with incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in) and I
could able to e-file my return. Infact, I have  used some of other
features, like viewing form 26AS, payment of regular tax etc.  Even
the captcha part (while login) has been  taken care using voice on
their website.
Also, I have used some of other websites like myitreturn.com for
e-Filing earlier (before 2015) and they were quite accessible too.

Dear all,
I am posting this on the behalf of Asif Iqbal who is not able to send mails
to this list.
Quoting Asif: 
I am scheduled to meet Income tax chief commissioner who is responsible for
E-filing.  My company is currently engaged by them in consulting assignment.
I did connect with my colleague regarding several accessibility concerns and
he has scheduled meeting with chief commissioner in this regards.  May I
seek your guys help to note down what exact problems faced by blind/
visually impaired citizens while e-filing their returns.
I have used their sites and it indeed was not at all accessible.  But would
like to hear about your experiences which I would like to highlight to
authority with possible solutions.
Thanks and kind regards 
Asif
