CPC extends deadline to process invalidated I-T returns
income tax returns
that were erroneously declared invalid by the Centralised Processing Centre (CPC).
Experts say this will assist many taxpayers with their loan and visa applications. This measure will offer relief to a large number of taxpayers whose returns were declared invalid by the CPC on various technical grounds, particularly where signatures could not be verified or validated.
This applies to all assessment years, and the time for processing the returns has been extended until March 31, 2026.
Jainik Vakil, chairman of the direct tax committee of the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), said, "Many times, people do not get their returns e-verified and sent to the CPC.
However, if it does not reach the CPC within 30 days, the return is invalidated. If the return filed by an assessee is declared invalid by the CPC and consequently not processed, it is advised to immediately follow up with the CPC and get it processed.
If any refund is due, then the same will be granted along with interest till date. Make sure that your PAN is linked to Aadhaar. If not, get them linked so that the refund gets issued. All those who face issues with loans and visas due to invalid returns will get relief due to this."

Housing societies cautioned against fake tenant registration documents; QR code verification soon
Pune: With a spike in fake, tampered, or unregistered tenant registration documents being submitted to housing societies, the Association of Service Providers has sounded an alert to all society committees across Maharashtra. Several recent cases revealed tenants submitting forged leave and licence agreements, often altered PDF copies created by local agents. "Societies need to be vigilant. Fake documents can land owners in legal trouble. Many tenants submit altered PDFs instead of officially registered documents as they are fleeced. They need to do it through a proper agent," association president Sachin Shinghavi said, adding that a robust verification mechanism is the need of the hour. In one case, a society member discovered a forged document only after checking it with the registration department. "An agent edited the document and submitted it as genuine. Only after showing it to officials did we realise it was fake," the member said and added that the department initiated action against the agent.

Shinghavi also highlighted issues in the current leave and licence 1.9 software, where police verification is often missing despite being mandatory. "Though the process includes Aadhaar verification, witness details, address confirmation, and sharing data with police via CCTNS, loopholes remain as in some fake documents these are not seen, which needs to be checked thoroughly using the department website," he said. To address this, the registration department introduced a QR code-based verification in Mumbai City and suburbs under the leave and licence 2.0 software. "The QR code allows instant verification and ensures police verification is auto-generated," said deputy inspector general (IT) Abhay Mohite. Work is under way to expand this feature across Maharashtra, he said. Housing federation members stressed that landlords bear the brunt of fake registrations, and called for a simplified, transparent system. Tenants, too, have fallen victims. "An agent promised me that the agreement was registered, but it turned out to be fake. There should be a way for tenants to verify the process themselves," said Seema N, a tenant in Pune.
