Income Tax Return: Verify Your ITR Soon To Avoid Last Fee Up To Rs 5,000

 

The income tax department on Sunday reiterated that ITR filers need to verify their returns as soon as possible in case they have not done so yet. ITR is required to be verified within 30 days of filing it, failing which will lead to the rejection of your ITR. So far, about 6.93 crore ITRs have been filed, out of which 6.69 crore have already been verified.

The last date to file ITR for AY2023-24 was July 31, 2023. Those who filed their ITR before July 31 can verify it without any fine. However, if they fail to verify the ITR, it will be rejected and a fresh ITR will need to be filed with a late fee of up to Rs 5,000.
