FAQ :

The Income Tax Department has introduced a feature allowing taxpayers to discard unverified original, belated, or revised Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for Assessment Year 2023-24 onwards.

No, the 'Discard' option is only available for ITRs that are currently unverified or pending verification.

Once an ITR is discarded, it cannot be reversed. It is treated as if the ITR was never filed. You will need to file a new ITR.

You can find the 'Discard' option by logging into www.incometax.gov.in, navigating to 'e-File', then 'Income Tax Return', then 'e-Verify ITR', and selecting 'Discard'.

No, the 'Discard' option is applicable only for ITRs filed for Assessment Year 2023-24 onwards.

No, there is no restriction on the number of times you can use the 'Discard' option, as long as the ITR status remains 'unverified' or 'pending for verification'.
