Income Tax - Extension of date for receipt of ITR-Vs in CPC

THERE are many taxpayers who have uploaded their Income Tax Returns (without digital signature Certificate) for A.Y. 2012-13 (filed between 1.4.2012 to 31.10.2013] and for A.Y. 2013-14 [filed between 1.4.2013 to 31.10.2013], but have either not filed the corresponding ITR-V or have filed it with the local Income-Tax Office. ITR-V is accepted only at CPC, Bengaluru by ordinary or speed post.

Therefore an opportunity is being given to such taxpayers to regularize their Income-tax returns.All such taxpayers may mail the ITR-V, by 31st March 2014, by ordinarypost or speed post at Post Bag No.1, Electronic city Post Office, Bengaluru-560100 (Karnataka). Taxpayers who have filed their ITR-V with the local Income-tax office may again mail their ITR-V to the CPC by 31st March, 2014. Those taxpayers who have earlier mailed their ITR-V, but have not received the acknowledgement e-mail from the CPC, may mail their ITR-V to the CPC again.

The ITR-V form should be mailed to the CPC only at the above address by ordinary post or speed post. No other place or form of delivery will be accepted.

Without acknowledgement of the ITR-V from the CPC, it would not be possible for the Income-tax Department to process the Income-tax returns or issue any refunds, as these would be treated as not having been filed with the Department.
