The last date for filing income tax return was 31st July. That is, Sunday was the deadline date for filing income tax returns, in which no changes have been made. After filing Income Tax Return (ITR), it is necessary to verify it. Without verification, the return is considered incomplete and the return gets cancelled.
This is the reason why its verification is considered more important than filing the return. After filing ITR through online mode, it is very important to do ITR E-Verification. If you have filed the return then do not forget to do the e-verification (ITR verification). Especially new taxpayers should not delay the verification at all.
