The I-T department email receipt may not come to your email box for reasons you cannot comprehend.
After filing returns online and posting it to the newly set-up Bangalore processing centre, if you haven’t got an email receipt from the income-tax department, your returns could have been rejected.
The I-T department email receipt may not come to your email box for reasons you cannot comprehend. The department has said that if instructions for sending the ITR-V or signed acknowledgement generated after filing returns online have not been complied with, the returns could be rejected.
The acknowledgement with an original signature, and not a photocopy of the signature, has to be sent, an inkjet or a laser printer has to be used, the bar code on the returns should be clear and not signed on, the back-side should be clear and no staplers should be used in the returns, to be sent unfolded in an A4 size envelope. “ITR-Vs that do not conform to the specifications may get rejected or acknowledgement of receipt may get delayed,” the department said.
The ITR-V cannot be sent via courier or hand-delivered, it must be sent via ordinary post only.
The deadline to send the acknowledgement or ITR-V to Bangalore, which was 30 days from date of filing returns, has been extended. One can now send the acknowledgement of the returns filed between April 2009 and July end 2009 before September 30, 2009 or within 60 days of uploading of the electronic return data, whichever is later, according to the I-T department.
The extension has brought cheer among people whose returns, which had to be sent only by ordinary post, have either been lost in transit or have been rejected by the I-T department.
“The date to submit returns has been extended for this very reason, as there are cases where returns may have not been delivered or damaged because of seasonal rains,” Mumbai chartered accountant Paras Savla said.
“There have been few cases among clients who have not received the email receipt as there was a mistake in their email address,” chartered accountant Sumalal Lodaya, who runs SS Lodaya & Associates, said.
