How to check the status of your tax return acknowledgement sent by post

How to check the status of your tax return acknowledgement sent by post

 

A large number of taxpayers are likely to send physically signed ITR-Vs to the CPC. In that case, here's how you can track your acknowledgement

 

According to a press release by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), 7.53 million taxpayers used the e-verification facility to verify their income tax return (ITR) this year (till 5 August). Popularity of e-verification soared this year compared to assessment year (AY) 2015-16, when about 3.29 million taxpayers had used this facility till 7 September 2015, the last date that year. For AY 2016-17, the last date for filing ITR was extended to 5 August this year.
 
 

Aadhaar as a means of e-verification also found favour with more people. While about 1 million had used it in 2015, about 1.77 million used Aadhaar this year. Roughly 22.7 million e-returns had been filed till 5 August, "thus, over 35% of taxpayers have already completed the entire process of return submission electronically. The Department encourages all taxpayers who have submitted their ITRs to use the e-verification as an easy alternative to sending their ITR-V form to Centralized Processing Center (CPC), Bengaluru," the release stated.

 

Data, however, also shows that a large number of taxpayers are likely to send physically signed ITR-Vs to the CPC. If you are among them, do track the acknowledgement. Here's how.

 

Verification of ITR-V

ITR-V is an acknowledgement-cum-verification form that needs to be submitted after filing the ITR. It contains a summary of the return filed by the taxpayer, and can be used as proof of income for various purposes. It can be verified either electronically or physically by mailing a signed copy to CPC. There are various processes through which you can e-verify your tax return-using digital signature, Aadhaar, internet banking and even ATMs. On the other hand, offline verification can only be done by downloading the ITR-V, signing it physically and mailing it to the CPC within 120 days from date of uploading the ITR.

 

If the e-verification is not done, or the signed copy of the return is not received by the tax department within the stipulated time, the ITR filed would not be treated as a valid return.

Check your status

If you have sent a signed copy of ITR-V to the CPC, you can check whether it has been received or not. To do so, log on to the e-filing website of the income-tax department:

https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in Click on the e-Filing tab and under "Services", you will find the option "ITR-V Receipt Status". Enter your Permanent Account Number (PAN) here and relevant AY for which you want to check the status or e-Filing Acknowledgement Number.

 

If the duly signed ITR-V has been received within the stipulated time limit, it will reflect in the status. If it has not been received, status will not be displayed. If status is not shown, and the time limit of 120 days has not lapsed, you can resend the signed ITR-V or e-verify. Failure to do so will invalidate your return and it will not be processed by the CPC. If you fail to file your return on time, the department can impose penalties.

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...

How much to invest in gold ?

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) Let your motivation dictate the share of the yellow metal in your portfolio Enough has been said and written about gold as an investment option. The latest argument is that the craze for gold among Indian households is endangering our country's balance of payments. The policymakers are busy trying to find ways of discouraging investment in gold, but if households keep the common good in mind, they would be paying the market price for gas cylinders as they do for, say, their mobile phone bills. After all, private decisions are driven by private motives. So, how should a household look at gold from its own perspective? Gold is primarily acquired for its merit as a store of value. Even if the worst crisis hits a family, the gold that it holds could be put to use anywhere in th...

Compared to Bank FDs, Debt Mutual Funds are more Tax-Efficient

It is a security vis-a-vis returns battle between bank fixed deposits and debt funds In the past few months, banks have been consistently increasing their rates of interest on different fixed deposits. And after the Reserve Bank of India's Annual Monetary Policy, even the saving deposit rates are up at 4 per cent. For a six-month fixed deposit, you can easily get a rate of anywhere between 6 and 7 per cent annually. However, experts feel if one is looking to invest for less than a year, debt funds could make a better choice. The reason: Liquid funds and ultra short-term funds are giving annualised returns of 8 per cent. Financial advisors suggest retail investors opt for mutual fund schemes as they are more flexible and give higher post-tax returns. Opt for fixed deposits only if you are comfortable being locked-in for the tenure as a premature exit can attract a penalty. If your main aim is to ensure liquidity, debt funds are preferable. Though a fixed deposit gives you a...
