CBDT provides One-Time relaxation for Verification of all Income Tax Return E-Filed for the AY 2020-21 pending for Verification and Processing
December, 29th 2021

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has notified the  one-time relaxation for verification of all Income Tax Return (ITR) e-filed for the Assessment Year 2020-21 pending for verification and processing.

In respect of an Income-tax Return (lTR) which is filed electronically without a digital signature, the taxpayer is required to verify it using any one of the modes within the time limit of 120 days from date of uploading the ITR namely through Aadhaar OTP, by logging into e-filing account through net banking, EVC through Bank Account Number, EVC through Demat Account Number, EVC through Bank ATM, by sending a duly signed physical copy of ITR-V through post to the CPC, Bengaluru.



The CBDT noted that a large number of electronically filed ITRs for the Assessment Year 2020- 21 still remain pending with the Income-tax Department for the want of receipt of a valid ITR-V Form at CPC , Bengaluru or pending e-Verification from the taxpayers concerned. In law, consequences of failure to verify the ITR within the time allowed is significant as such an ITR is/can be declared non-est. Thereafter, the consequences for non-filing an ITR, as specified in the Income-tax Act,1961 follow.

It has been decided by the Board to provide one-time relaxation for submission of ITR-V/e-Verification for resolving the grievances of the taxpayers associated with non-verification of ITRs for the Assessment Year 2020-21 and to regularize such ITRs which have either become non-est or have remained pending with Income-tax Department for want of receipt of respective ITR-V Form or pending e-Verification. Therefore, in respect of alllTRs for Assessment Year 2020-21 which were uploaded electronically by the taxpayers within the time allowed under section 139 of the Act and which have remained incomplete due to non- submission of ITR-V Form pending e-Verification, the Board, in exercise of its powers under section 119(2)(a) of the Act, hereby permits verification of such returns either by sending a duly signed physical copy of ITR-V to CPC, Bengaluru through speed post or through EVC/OTP modes as listed in para 1 above. Such verification process must be completed by 28.02.2022.

 

This relaxation shall not apply in those cases , where during the intervening period , the Income-tax Department has already taken recourse to any other measure as specified in the Act for ensuring filing of tax return by the taxpayer concerned after declaring the return as non-est.

Further, Board also relaxed the time-frame for issuing the intimation as provided in second proviso to sub-section (1) of Section 143 of the Act and directs that such returns shall be processed by 30.06.2022 and intimation of processing of such returns shall be sent to the taxpayer concerned as per the laid down procedure. In refund cases, while determining the interest, provision of section 244A (2) of the Act would apply. It is clarified that this relaxation would be applicable to all such returns which are verified during the extended period.
