F. NO. 225/132/2023/ITA-II dated 31-01-2024
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has noted technical issues or other non-attributable reasons causing the non-processing of validly filed income tax returns for AYs up to 2020-21. As a result, taxpayers are experiencing delays in receiving legitimate refunds despite the delay not being their fault.
The Board has addressed taxpayer concerns by periodically issuing instructions under Section 119 of the Act, extending the statutory processing time limit for validly filed returns with refund claims in non-scrutiny cases. The CBDT vide its order under section 119, dated 16.10.2023 and 01.12.2023, directed that all validly filed returns up to Assessment Year 2020-21 bearing refund claims, which could be processed by 31-01-2024.
The matter has been re-considered by Board in view of pending taxpayer grievances related to the issue of refund. To mitigate the genuine hardship the taxpayers face on this issue, the CBDT has decided to extend the time further till 30.04.2024 with respect to returns of income validly filed electronically up to AY 2020-21.
