The income tax authority allows the delayed claim if a taxpayer has faced genuine hardship that led to a delay in verifying your ITR within the 120-days deadline.

Filing of Income Tax Return (ITR) is just the beginning of a lengthy tax process. Once an individual files his/her tax, he/she is required to verify the same. Electronic verification code or Aadhaar one-time password are ways in which a taxpayer can verify ITR in an electronic way and for manual verification a taxpayer is required to send a copy of the ITR V acknowledgement to CPC Bengaluru through regular, speed or registered post within 120 days from filing of tax.

If a taxpayer fails to meet the deadline, the income tax department can consider the ITR as invalid. Does a missed verification deadline mean you will be required to file the ITR all over again? The condonation delay request can save the hassle of filing the tax return again. Section 119(2)(b) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, provides for condonation of delay of any application or claims filed under the Act. The income tax authority allows the delayed claim if a taxpayer has faced genuine hardship that led to a delay in verifying your ITR within the 120-days deadline.
