People on social media are pointing to heavy rainfall in various parts of the country and technical problems with the ITR portal as the reasons for their inability to meet the July 31 deadline.
ITRs must be submitted by July 31, 2023, for the fiscal year 2022–2023. However, some taxpayer groups, such as those who select ITR-6, are permitted to file their ITRs at a later date.
Earlier, it was quite simple to evade tax authorities, but now many people may struggle because software used by the revenue department has detected their returns, according to a July 22 article in the Economic Times.
An NRI tax payer has posted in his twitter that he filed his tax returns but when he tried to check the refund status, a message prompted that sine his PAN card was inoperative, refund could not be issued.
