ITR Not e-Verified? Do This To Avoid Penalties

ITR Not e-Verified? Do This To Avoid Penalties 6 Aug, 2025 Credit: Getty Filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) isn't enough — you must e-verify it within 30 days of submission. Otherwise, it will be treated as invalid. ITR Must Be e-Verified Within 30 Days While the ITR filing deadline is extended to September 15, 2025, the 30-day e-verification rule still applies from the date of filing, not the new deadline. Deadline Extended, But Rule Remains Without timely verification, your ITR is considered not filed, attracting late fees, interest, or notices. It's the final step to complete your tax return. Why e-Verification Is Crucial If you fail to e-verify in time, you must file a condonation request with a valid reason. Your return will be valid only if this is approved by the IT Department. Missed the Deadline? There's a Way You can e-verify using Aadhaar OTP, net banking, ATM, bank/demat EVC, or a digital signature. Choose the method that suits you and complete it on time.
