Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about ITR filing and processing

E-verification confirms your intent to file - but processing happens separately. The Income Tax Department works through a queue of all verified returns. During peak periods (August-October after the July deadline), the backlog can be several crore returns. Most returns are processed within 15-45 days of verification, though complex cases or those with refund claims may take longer.
ITR Stats fetches data twice daily. However, the Income Tax Department typically publishes updated figures once a day, late at night. The numbers you see usually reflect the previous night's official update. The timestamps on the dashboard tell you exactly when each reading was taken.
During active processing periods, the department typically processes 2-7 lakh returns per day. On peak days, this can cross 6-7 lakh. The daily growth chart on this dashboard shows the processing rate day by day - you can see weekends and holidays clearly as flat or near-zero days, while weekdays show higher throughput.
Filing an ITR means submitting the return form with your income details. But the process is not complete until you verify it. E-verification can be done instantly via Aadhaar OTP, net banking, or Demat account. Alternatively, you can send a signed physical ITR-V to CPC Bengaluru within 30 days. Without verification, the ITR is invalid and will not be processed.
The pending backlog (verified minus processed) rises when new e-verified returns are added faster than the department can process them. This typically happens in the weeks right after a filing deadline - millions of taxpayers verify their ITRs in a short window, overwhelming the processing queue temporarily. Over the following months, the department steadily clears the backlog.
