This discussion addresses a user's concern about an unverified ITR-1 filed in May 2016 for AY 2015-16. The Income Tax Department has provided a one-time relaxation allowing e-verification for returns pending from AY 2015-16 onwards, provided they are verified by 30.09.2020. It's important to ensure your Aadhaar is linked to your PAN for e-verification to be possible.
ITR-1( FOR AY 2015-16) was filed online through "income-tax e-filing portal" in may'2016 .I forgot to e-verify that ITR. I missed to send that ITR-V (INCOME TAX RETURN VERIFICATION FORM) to CPC bangalore through INDIAN POST-SPEED POST. In my login, it shows e-verify is pending for AY 2015-16. But in incometax -e-filing portal, there is no option for applying E-VERIFICATION for A.Y.2015-16. What is the consequences? Shall i download acknowledgment for AY2015-16 and send to CPC , this period?
