Forgot to e-verify your ITR? Here's what to do to avoid penalties
If you've filed your Income Tax Return (ITR) this year, make sure you verify it too. Just submitting your return isn't enough. Unless you e-verify it within 30 days, it will be treated as invalid, according to the Income Tax FILING DEADLINE EXTENDED, BUT 30-DAY RULE STAYSWhile the ITR filing deadline has been extended to September 15, 2025 from the earlier July 31 for many taxpayers, remember: the 30-day window for verification begins from the date you file your return, not from the E-VERIFICATION MATTERSe-Verification is the final step that completes the filing process. If you forget or delay it beyond 30 days, your return will be treated as if it was never filed. That could lead to late filing penalties, interest, or even a notice from the department.'If you do not verify in time, your return is treated as not filed and it will attract all the consequences of not filing ITR under the Income Tax Act, 1961. However, you may request condonation of delay in verification by giving appropriate reason. Only after submission of such a request, you will be able to e-Verify your return.

50% tax waiver for properties in PCMC red zone from next fiscal
1 2 Pune: The PCMC on Tuesday decided to offer a 50% discount in general tax for properties in the red zone from the next financial year, prompting protest from several housing societies. The tax waiver proposal was approved in Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC)'s standing committee and general body meetings. A senior official from the property tax department said the decision, effective from April 1, 2026 (for the 2026-27 fiscal), would apply only to property owners who clear all their pending dues. Pimpri Chinchwad municipal commissioner Shekhar Singh told TOI that the civic body was unable to provide many facilities like schools and sports facilities to the residents in the red zone area. Hence, offering them some concession in the property tax was under consideration. "The residents will get a 50% waiver on the general tax component mentioned in the property tax bill," he said.

According to officials, a 2,000-yard area around Dehu Road Ordnance Depot and a 1,200-yard area around Dighi Magazine Depot are considered red zones. Construction activities are prohibited there, as per the Works of Defence Act, 1903. Avinash Shinde, the assistant municipal commissioner and the head of the PCMC's property tax department, said the waiver would be applicable to non-residential properties, including industrial units operating from Talawade. Over 3,000 industrial units in and around Talawade are in the red zone area. While the civic body hopes to recover long-pending dues from property owners in the red zone through this move, housing societies strongly opposed it. "This is an injustice to those who pay their taxes regularly. We also do not receive adequate facilities from the municipal corporation despite paying taxes," said Sanjeevan Sangle, the chairman of Chikhali-Moshi Pimpri Chinchwad Housing Societies Federation, after writing a letter to the municipal commissioner over the issue. Sangle said offering a discount for properties in the red zone was like promoting unauthorised constructions because all these structures are illegal.
