FAQ :

From April 1st, 2024, taxpayers must verify their income tax returns within 30 days of uploading them.

If you e-verify or submit your ITR-V within 30 days of uploading, the date of uploading will be considered the date of furnishing your return.

If you verify your return or submit your ITR-V after 30 days of uploading, the date of verification/submission will be treated as the filing date, and late filing consequences may apply.

If your income tax return is not verified within the 30-day period, it will be treated as invalid.

You can e-verify your return immediately upon filing, which is the most recommended method. Alternatively, a duly verified ITR-V can be sent via post to the Centralised Processing Centre, Income Tax Department, Bengaluru - 560500, Karnataka.

This notification is applicable for income tax returns uploaded or submitted on the e-filing portal from April 1st, 2024.
