The department issued a notification on July 29 announcing the change in the timeline.

E-verification of an ITR completes the return filing process, and if it is not done within the stipulated time, an ITR is treated as invalid.

“It has been decided that in respect of any electronic transmission of return data on or after the date of this notification comes into effect, the time limit for e-verification or submission of ITR-V shall now be 30 days from the date of transmitting/uploading the data of return electronically,” the notification said.

It said the order comes into effect from August 1.

Until now, the period to e-verify the ITR or send the ITR-V through the post after filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) was 120 days from the date of the uploading of the ITR.

The notification clarified that in case the e-verification of the ITR or hard copy ITR-V is sent through post beyond the time limit of 30 days, the return shall be treated as late or beyond the due date.

Those who wish to send the ITR-V in a hard copy can send it through the usual address through “speed post only” to Centralised Processing Centre, Income Tax Department, Bengaluru-560500, Karnataka.
