The Ministry of Finance has also said that over 3.91 Cr returns have been validated, with over 3.35 Cr of them being authenticated using an Aadhaar-based OTP. On the new e-filing portal, 27.7 lakh Aadhaar-OTP applications have been submitted in the previous three days only. Over 2.88 Cr e-verified ITRs have been processed, with over 1.07 Cr refunds granted for AY 2021-22.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes has allowed a one-time relaxation until February 28, 2022, for the verification of all e-filed income tax returns for Assessment Year 2020-21 that are still pending for verification and processing on December 28, 2021. As a result, taxpayers in pending cases should complete e-verification as soon as possible before the deadline.
The ITR for AY21-22 must be filed by December 31st. The deadline for reporting ITRs was extended by the Ministry of Finance from July 31 to December 31 this year. It also recommended taxpayers who have not yet filed their Income Tax returns for the AY 2021-22 (financial year ending March 2021) to do so as soon as possible to avoid a penalty of Rs. 5.000.
The ministry has been delivering out alerts to taxpayers via email, SMS, and social media campaigns, advising them to not wait until the last minute to submit their Income Tax Returns (ITRs). As a result, all taxpayers who have yet to file their Income Tax Returns for AY 2021-22 are urged to do so as soon as possible to avoid any penalty, late fee, and a last-minute rush.
