Unprocessed income tax returns may block revisions after year-end deadline
Taxpayers must ensure their ITRs are processed by December 31, 2025, as unprocessed returns cannot be revised later, potentially impacting error corrections and refund claims.
Tax professionals are urging taxpayers to act before December 31, 2025, as revised income tax returns cannot be filed beyond this date if the original return remains unprocessed. This restriction can prevent taxpayers from correcting errors, updating income details, or claiming eligible refunds. If processing does not occur in time, options become limited to filing an updated return under ITR-U, which does not allow refund claims, or submitting a rectification request only for apparent mistakes.
