Hi Rakesh, Check whether you got email on new email ID also. If you have received it, don’t worry as they sent an email about new efiling site for every one. If you have not received on new email Id, then you can reach out to customer care email of income tax dept seeking clarification

Hello Bisaria, Step-1 is to update in portal. Step-2 you would get 2 PINs through email + SMS on registered contact details. You need to confirm this by entering them in the portal. Have you done this? If not, the details would not get updated.
