New Delhi: If you have not yet filed Income Tax Return (ITR) for the financial year 2019-20 (FY20), then you should fill it before 31 December. Now only a few days are left in the last date for filing the Income Tax Return for the assessment year 2020-21. Meanwhile, the Income Tax Department has once again made a special tweet to speed up the process of filing income tax returns of the people. In this tweet, the Income Tax Department has said that ‘File it quickly, processing will happen’.
However, this ‘instant processing’ is possible only when the ITR of the taxpayers has been verified, the bank account has been pre-validated and there is no outstanding or income discrepancy. ITR filing is mandatory for individuals earning a fixed income in a year. Generally, taxpayers have to file ITR by 31 July of any year (unless extended by the government). This year, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the ITR filing deadline to December 31, 2020 for FY2019-20 (AY2020-21) due to the epidemic.
The Due Date for filing of ITR is almost here.
File your ITR NOW to avoid late filing fee.
