Haven't received an acknowledgement yet for your filed tax return from the income tax department?



Most of us have filed our tax returns electronically before the August 31 deadline. However, what many of us didn't realise was that the process would be complete only after the central processing centre (CPC) of the income-tax department sends an email or SMS acknowledging the receipt of the income tax return (ITR). Every tax payer should send the signed copy of ITR-V to the CPC through speed post or ordinary post within 120 days from the date of filing. Once the CPC receives the ITR, it usually sends an email or an SMS acknowledging the ITR.


"The CPC has put in processes acknowledging the receipt of ITR-V and also to intimate taxpayers for non-receipt for filed e-returns. Generally, the central processing centre sends an email to the taxpayer if ITR-V is not received within a month of e-filing," says Vineet Agarwal, director, KPMG India.

 


The electronic communications from CPC are sent to the email id mentioned in the income tax return (ITR). What should you do if you haven't received the acknowledgement?
CHECK THE PORTAL


The tax payer can download the acknowledgement from the income-tax web portal (www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/portal/login.do) by logging in through his/ her online account. The same will be available under 'E-filing processing status' under the tab 'My Account'.


"The receipt can also be checked by quoting your PAN and assessment year or by quoting the e-filing acknowledgement number on the 'ITR-V Receipt Status' tab under 'Services' section on the e-fling website," says Vineet Agarwal.


In case, the acknowledgement is not available on the web portal as well, then the reason for non- availability will be displayed as the current status.


"Some of the reasons could be: non-receipt of signed Form ITR-V, receipt of damaged signed Form ITR-V etc," says Sonu Iyer, partner & national leader, human capital, Ernst & Young.


TRACKING THE ITR


If you have sent the ITR via speed post, it can be tracked with the tracking number assigned at the time of booking the speed post. Taxpayers can also call the CPC call centre number 080-22546500 or 1800-425-2229 (toll free) and enquire about the status.


"Please note that Form ITR-V cannot be sent through registered post. It can only be sent either through ordinary post or speed post," says Sonu Iyer.


If you do not have a postal acknowledgement or sent the ITR visa ordinary post, then you can track the status of your Form ITR-V by logging on to the incometax web portal. "The same will be available under 'ITR-V Receipt Status' under the tab 'Services'. "The current status of Form ITR-V with CPC will be displayed — whether or not your Form ITR-V is received by CPC. In case the Form ITR-V is received but rejected by CPC, the reason for rejection will also be displayed," says Vaibhav Sankla, director, H&R Block India.


SENDING THE ITR AGAIN


If the form is not received by the CPC or rejected for some reason, you have to resend the ITR to CPC. If the same is not done, the ITR will be deemed invalid. In such a case, ensure that you have filled in all personal information, like PAN, e-mail id, bank account number and MICR code, correctly in the tax return. Moreover, the ITR-V should be signed only in "blue" ink and in the space provided. You still have to send the same to CPC within 120 days. In such a case, it is best you opt for a speed post and keep a record of the tracking number.

Understanding Your Cibil Credit Information Report

   WE ARE all familiar with the anxiety and uncertainty that we feel when applying for a loan. After all, it's the lender who decides whether we can own our dream home, our first car, or whether our children can pursue higher education. In a nutshell, a better life depends on the lender's decisions.    While other factors do play a part in the lender's decision, the Cibil Credit Information Report ( CIR ) plays a crucial role in a lender's decision to approve a loan application.    Previously, lenders would treat all loan seekers equally. Each applicant, if approved by the lender's internal credit policy, would be charged at the same interest rate for a particular loan size and purpose. The lenders would charge a higher interest rate to all the borrowers, in order to compensate for the possible default of a small portion of the loan disbursed. In other words, it's like a professor (the lender) punishing an entire class (borrowers) for the mischief played b...

Capital Protection Oriented Funds

To address this concern, asset management companies have launched Capital Protection Oriented Funds (CPOFs). What are CPOFs? CPOFs are generally three to five-year, closed-ended funds where 70-80% of the portfolio is invested in fixed income securities, which mature on or before the scheme's tenure. The investment in fixed income securities grows to 100% at the end of the tenure, providing the investor with capital protection. The remaining portion (20-30%) is used to take exposure to equity, which provides the upside. Exposure to equities is either by directly buying equity stocks (plain vanilla CPOFs) or by b...

Good Loan

Why Is It A Good Loan?: Loans against gold are cheaper and better than personal loans as the former are available at lower interest rates. In contrast, the interest rates on personal loans are not standardised and can vary from bank to bank. Also, a personal loan depends on a host of factors including, the borrower's salary, profession and the purpose for which the loan is being taken.      For instance, the interest rate on a personal loan of 5 lakh falls in a wide range of 15-30%. But loans against gold are available for as low as 11%. Secured borrowing such as a loan against gold, investments or property is cheaper because it is backed by some assets, which command a good value at any point of time. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the banks can liquidate the assets to settle the loan account.    Being a secured loan, the risk of default and credit losses is significantly lower in this loan compared to other forms of loan for personal use. Given the lower risk, gold loa...
