Help needed on IT Return

My brother works in an IT company where he received some salary for 6 months and also he has Rs10k income as Chegg as a question expert (not as a full time employee) which he has mentioned in IT form.

  • His total taxable income is below Rs5 lakh.

Now the problem is, that he has e-verified the IT return on 14 September but it is not yet processed by the IT department. Webpage just shows successfully e-verified on 14 September. Acnowledgement also mentions the same.

I have my friends whose IT return was processed in just 14 days and even 5 days for one. Though they don’t have both Chegg and IT salary combination. They simply had interest and Chegg.

Although his refund would be just Rs200 but the main thing is that why is IT department taking so long to process the return? Is anybody facing smilar issue? What could be next course of action? What is the deadline?

It takes time to process, especially when there’s a refund involved (doesn’t matter if it’s 200 only). Sit back and relax, no need to take tension, sometimes it gets processed in just few days, but majority time it takes around 1-2 months.

No course of action to be taken. Sometimes it even takes upto 6 months for return to be processed. Since you have already filed it and the amount involved is very minor, you need not follow up. They will process it in their time. Forget about it, just keep checking mails.

As per my friends from development side, now ITR 1 takes hardly 72-96 hrs to proceed. In case of other ITR it may takes longer.

It is ITR -3 for my brother which is late, ITR-4 for my friends was very quick.

It can take several months and sometimes more than a year for IT Deptt to process your return. 1st priority are those IT Returns which have taxable income and any refund amount, next is those having taxable income without refund and lastly those where income is within non taxable limits.

Delay in processing is sometimes due to mismatch or delay in uploading TDS data by deductors, or auto capture of information related to concealment of taxable income from other sources such as bank accounts.

Quite amused by your expectations from a sarakari deptt

Can you please elaborate “auto capture of information related to concealment of taxable income from other sources such as bank accounts”?

From my experience, if you have income other than salary takes more time to process than the other. For me, 2018 year returns are processed along with 2019 year returns. So not to worry if there are no tax dues.
