Why has my ITR-V been rejected?

The Income Tax Department may also reject the ITR-V either if your signature is missing or the ITR-V document is of "poor quality".

Remember, you will receive a notification via e-mail and SMS if your ITR-V is rejected. The status of rejection would also be updated in the E-Filing "My Account" section of the Income Tax Department website.

If the 120 days from the date of e-Filing haven't elapsed, simply print out a fresh copy of the ITR-V, sign and send it back to CPC within 120 days from the date of e-Filing.

Read our guide on what to do next if your ITR-V is rejected.
