As per current income tax laws, the time limit to process ITRs by the tax department is within one year from the end of the financial year in which ITR was filed. Thus, your ITR must be processed by March 31, 2021 for the return filed for FY 2018-19.
Once your ITR is processed, the income tax department sends you an intimation notice.
However, it may happen that you have received an SMS from the income tax department stating: “ITR for PAN: AAAXXXXX0A, AY 2019-20 and Ack No. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX has been processed at CPC. Order u/s 143(1) will be sent by email.” But you cannot find the email from the tax department in your inbox.
