The Income Tax Department is now using a stricter AI-based model to process Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for FY 2024-25, particularly scrutinising claims for high or 100% refunds. Invalid claims or errors in forms like Form 10E/Relief Form 89 can halt processing, even if the ITR is initially accepted by the CPC. Taxpayers must ensure accurate reporting of income, correct ITR forms, and adherence to tax regime rules to avoid delays, notices, and potential penalties.

A mismatch in income figures between Form 10E/Relief Form 89 and previous years' actual ITRs can cause the IT Department to halt ITR processing until the error is corrected.
No, commission income cannot be filed under Section 44AD. It requires proper books of accounts and cannot be treated as presumptive income. Past years' TDS cannot be claimed in the current year for commission income.
Filing the wrong ITR form, such as ITR-1 for share market income (which requires ITR-2/ITR-3), may lead to initial processing but can result in a later faceless assessment notice, requiring submission of detailed financial documents and potentially causing tax and penalty issues.
If mistakes are found, taxpayers should revise their ITR before the deadline (e.g., December 31, 2025) to avoid penalties and interest. This includes correcting claimed deductions, matching income with AIS/TDS, and ensuring adherence to the correct tax regime rules.
