Government Office closed affect on ITR processing

Dear Experts


My ITR is still under processing.

I want to know that due to corona virus, most of the government office are closed or working less hours....so can it affect out ITR processing time.

We were expecting that our ITR would be processed till March due to FY closing. But due to corona virus, can we expect that our ITR will be processed in march month.

I know that ITR process work is system generated, there is no human interaction. So now what would be happened because my refund is pending and i need money now.

Quick Summary
This discussion explores potential delays in Income Tax Return (ITR) processing due to government office closures and reduced working hours caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The original poster filed their ITR on 02.09.2019 and is concerned about their pending refund, especially as they had expected processing by March. While ITR processing is largely system-generated, the impact of these closures on the timeline and the effectiveness of previous grievance filings are discussed.

When did you filed your ITR ???
02.09.2019 itr filing date
Normally it takes about 20-45 days to process the return but in case acknowledgement has been sent physically and after months gap then it may take time to process your return.
Return was digitally signed and tax audit was there. FY 2018-19.
