File a Condonation Request on the e-Filing Portal

Condonation Request

The taxpayers have the option to raise a service request on the e-filing portal. The e-filing portal provides the following two options to the taxpayers with respect to filing a condonation request:
  1. Condonation of delay due to late submission of ITR-V (Submission after 120 days of filing the ITR) 
  1. Condonation request for filing ITR after getting time-barred (If you fail to file your ITR before the due date)
An individual has to verify the Income Tax Return (ITR) after filing it. The e-verification process of ITR should be complete within 120 days of filing. An ITR filed but not verified is treated as an invalid return by the Income Tax Department (ITD). An invalid return would mean that the taxpayer has not filed the ITR for a particular assessment year. In that case, the taxpayer has to file the ITR again.

Prerequisites

  1. Income Tax Return & ITR-V is submitted after 120 days of filing the return
  1. Failure to file your ITR before the end of the relevant Assessment Year (AY)
