CBDT relaxes time limit for processing income tax returns filed electronically
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has relaxed the time limit for processing income tax returns filed electronically that were incorrectly invalidated by the CPC-Bengaluru due to technical reasons.
The CBDT, in circular issued Monday, directed that returns of income filed electronically up to March 31, 2024, which were erroneously invalidated, shall now be processed and intimations of these returns shall be sent to the assessees by March 31, 2026.
The decision will enable assessees to receive refunds along with applicable interest. However, refunds will not be made if PAN-Aadhaar linkage is not found, as per existing guidelines.
