The Income Tax Department (ITD) has started sending SMS alerts to taxpayers who have claimed Section 80GGC deductions for donations made to political parties and electoral trusts. The notice applies to Assessment Years 2022-23, 2023-24, and 2024-25 and urges taxpayers to verify their claims on the Compliance Portal. If the claim is incorrect, taxpayers must file an Updated Return (ITR-U) under Section 139(8A) before 31st March 2025 to avoid penalties under Section 270A (up to 200% fine) and interest under Section 234F (₹5,000 late fee). This blog explains Section 80GGC deductions, compliance requirements, and the steps to correct errors in tax filings.

The Income Tax Department's (ITD) capricious limitations on Section 87A refund applications have been invalidated by the Bombay High Court. The court decided that it was unreasonable for qualified taxpayers to be denied refunds due to technical constraints. Many people who were previously refused tax relief because of technical limitations now benefit from this ruling. To guarantee that rebate claims are handled efficiently, ITD must now modernize its systems. In order to get any refunds to which they are entitled, taxpayers should verify their status.

To provide aid to taxpayers, the Income Tax Department has extended the deadline for filing the ITR until January 15, 2025.
