The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has reduced the time limit for verifying Income Tax Returns (ITRs). For returns filed electronically on or after 1st August 2022, taxpayers now have 30 days from the date of transmitting the data to e-verify or submit the ITR-V form. Previously, this period was 120 days. If verification is submitted after 30 days, the date of verification will be considered the filing date, potentially incurring late filing consequences.

FAQ :
The new time limit for verifying Income Tax Returns (ITRs) is 30 days from the date of electronically transmitting the return data.
This new time limit comes into effect from 1st August 2022.
If you submit your ITR-V after the 30-day period, the date of e-verification or ITR-V submission will be treated as the date of furnishing the return, and you may face consequences for late filing.
No, the earlier time limit of 120 days will continue to apply to returns where the data was electronically transmitted before 1st August 2022.
The duly verified ITR-V should be sent by speed post to the Centralised Processing Centre, Income Tax Department, Bengaluru – 560500, Karnataka.
The date of dispatch of the Speed Post of the duly verified ITR-V will be considered for determining the 30-day period from the date of transmitting the income tax return data electronically.
