FAQ :

The circular provides a one-time relaxation for taxpayers to verify their e-filed Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for Assessment Year 2020-21 that are pending verification.

This relaxation applies to all ITRs for Assessment Year 2020-21 that were uploaded electronically within the due date but remain incomplete due to non-submission of the ITR-V form or pending e-Verification.

The deadline for completing the verification process, either by sending a signed physical copy of ITR-V or through e-verification modes, is 28th February 2022.

Taxpayers can verify their ITRs by sending a duly signed physical copy of ITR-V through post to CPC, Bengaluru, or by using e-verification (e-VC) modes like Aadhaar OTP, net banking, bank account number, Demat account number, or bank ATM.

If the return is not regularised by furnishing a valid verification by the deadline, the necessary consequences as provided in law for non-filing the return may follow.

The CBDT has extended the time-frame for issuing intimation for these returns, and they will be processed by 30th June 2022, with intimation sent to the taxpayer thereafter.
