Out of these, about 5 crore ITRs were filed by July 26. The remaining 2.28 crore ITRs were filed between July 27 and 31. In such a situation, according to the rules, the deadline for ITR filed between July 26 and July 31 is also falling between August 26 and 30. In such a situation, if you also filed ITR on these dates, then now you have only 10 days left for its verification. In such a situation, you should not delay now to avoid penalty.

30 days time for e-verification or submission of ITR-5

According to the income tax rules, you get 30 days to do e-verification or submit ITR-5 offline after filing ITR. According to the information received from the IT department, a total of 7,41,37,596 ITRs have been filed till August 20. Also, 7,09,89,014 ITRs have also been verified.

If you want refund, do the verification within 30 days of filing ITR

In such a situation, you have to ensure that there is not more than 30 days gap between filing ITR and e-verification. Your refund will come only when you verify the ITR. For example, if you filed your ITR on 31st July, then the last date to verify it will also be 30th August. According to the report of Economic Times, if you miss this deadline, it will also be considered late filing. In such a situation, you may have to pay a fine.

Not only will you get a refund but you may also have to pay a fine of up to Rs 5000

According to the rules, if you do not verify within 30 days, then the refund will not come under any circumstances. In such a situation, you may have to suffer a big loss due to a small mistake. Also, your ITR will also be canceled. You will have to file ITR again and also have to pay a penalty for late filing. This mistake can cost you from Rs 1000 to Rs 5000.
