Last Date for accepting Verification Form ITR V at CPC of Income Tax Department is 31st October for returns filed for the AY 2013-14

The CPC of the Income Tax Department has started a special campaign where they are accepting the Verification Form ITR V for  income tax returns filed for the AY 2013-14 without digital signature and have not sent the signed copy of the Acknowledgement to CPC Bangalore.
The CPC has given last chance to those who have not sent the signed copy of the Verification Form ITR V or say Acknowledgement, to do so by 31st October’2014.

In case an assessee does not file the return by using digital signature, then he has to send a physically signed copy of the acknowledgement or ITR V of the filing of return to CPC Bangalore within 120 days of e-filing of the return.

Requirement of sending of acknowledgements to CPC Bangalore and consequences:
