06 January 2025 Assesse has filed the ITR on 16th June 2024 for the AY 2024-25. The ITR was e-verified through Aadhar OTP on the same day. The refund receivable was around 30K. The ITR has not been processed till date i.e. 06/01/2025.

Two-time grievances have been raised on the portal with CPC-ITR for the delay in processing of ITR but every time it has been closed stating that returns go through automatic validations and checks, so wait for processing.

When can we expect the processing of this ITR since the due date to process ITR was 31st December 2024?

06 January 2025 Many such ITR are pending for processing with CPC, due to verifications. If there are any discrepancies or if the return is selected for scrutiny, the processing might take longer. Taxpayers should expect processing to be completed by March 2025.
The Income Tax Department is legally required to process returns and issue refunds within nine months from the end of the financial year in which the return was filed. For AY 2024-25, this means processing must be completed by December 31, 2025.
