CBDT has declared August 31 as deadline for the taxpayers whose ITRs for six assessment years between 2009-10 and 2014-15 are pending for processing and issuance of refunds due to issues of non-filing of ITR-V acknowledgement form at its Bengaluru-based collection centre.
Offering the “final opportunity”, the department has said taxpayers whose refunds and tax issues are pending for assessment years (AYs) 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15, should immediately authenticate their Income Tax Returns by using either the electronic verification by Aadhaar or bank account-based facility available on its official web portal or send a bonafide copy of the ITR-V to its CPC in Bengaluru by “speed post” before August 31. “...in case of returns for AYs (2009-10 to 2014-15) which were uploaded electronically by the taxpayer within the time allowed under section 139 of the Act and which have remained incomplete due to non-submission of ITR-V Form for verification, hereby permits verification of such returns also through EVC.
