Taxpayers who have received any such verification issue needs to submit a response on those issues raised. The response has to be submitted online by logging into the compliance portal.

Taxpayers who receive an SMS or any communication via call or email from ITD are likely to face some verification issues in their ITRs. Taxpayers can receive the SMS for three reasons:

1. Not filed ITR or The ITR is not filed in the given assessment year and has potential tax liability pending.
2. Details provided by taxpayers and Information received to the ITD don’t match for that particular assessment year.
3. Significant transactions get reported to the Income Tax department during a financial year which is considered abnormal or out of line with the profile of the taxpayer.
