Income Tax Filing: Filing income tax return is as important as verifying it. If you do not verify the return after filing it, then the process of filing the return will not be considered complete. In fact, it is only through e-verify that the Income Tax Department gets to know whether you have filed your return correctly or not.
If you forget to file the return, you get 30 days’ time. If you do not e-verify the return in these 30 days, the return will be considered invalid. In such a case, you will not get the refund or the money deducted in tax. Along with this, you may have to file a new income tax return and for this you may also have to pay a late fine.
