As mentioned earlier, without verification within the stipulated time, an ITR is treated as invalid. This means that penal charges will be applicable as per non filing of income tax return in case an ITR is not verified, including a Rs 5000 late fee. In case you forget to verify it on time, you need to submit request for condonation of delay by providing an appropriate reason for the delay. But the return will be taken as verified only after approval of the condonation request by the Income Tax Department.
