How many ITRs have been filed till 31st December?

It is worth noting that around 5.89 crore Income Tax Returns (ITRs) were filed till the December 31 deadline on the new e-filing portal for the financial year 2020-21 (ending March 2021). Out of this, over 46.11 lakh ITRs were filed on December 31 itself. The CBDT had said, “Around 5.89 crore Income Tax Returns (ITRs) have been filed on the new e-filing portal of the Income Tax Department till December 31, 2021.”

Of the 5.89 crore ITRs filed for the assessment year 2021-22 (2020-21 financial year), 49.6 per cent ITR1 (2.92 crore), 9.3 per cent ITR2 (54.8 lakh), 12.1 per cent ITR3 (71.05 lakh), 27.2 per cent ITR4 ( 1.60 crores), 1.3 per cent ITR5 (7.66 lakhs).

What to do if ITR is not filed yet?

If you have not been able to file your ITR by 31st December 2021, then now you have time till 31st March 2022 to do so. But, you will have to pay a fine for this. Late filers have to pay a penalty fee to compensate for the delay. Tax expert Balwant Jain told that if your income is more than five lakhs, then you will have to compulsorily pay a penalty fee of 5 thousand rupees while filing your ITR and if the income is less than 5 lakhs, then this penalty fee will be one thousand rupees. .
