This deadline has been given to those taxpayers who have filed belated or revised ITR till 31 December 2022. Informing the taxpayers, the Central Board of Direct Taxes has asked them to complete the verification before January 30.

ITR can be e-verified by taxpayers. The board set the deadline for this as January 30, 2023. In other words, taxpayers must always validate their ITR throughout the month of January. Otherwise, the Income Tax Department may send you a notification.
What if ITR is not verified?
