Do i receive confirmation mail from income tax return

Yes, the Income Tax Department of India sends a confirmation mail to the taxpayer after filing the Income Tax Return (ITR). This confirmation mail is also known as the "Acknowledgement" or "ITR Acknowledgement".

Here are the details:

  1. Acknowledgement Number: The confirmation mail contains an Acknowledgement Number, which is a unique 14-digit number that is generated by the Income Tax Department. This number is used to track the status of your ITR.
  2. ITR Filing Status: The confirmation mail indicates whether your ITR has been successfully filed or not. If there are any errors or discrepancies, the mail will also mention the reasons for rejection.
  3. Date of Filing: The confirmation mail shows the date and time when your ITR was filed.
  4. Taxpayer's Details: The confirmation mail contains your personal details, such as name, PAN, and address.

You can expect to receive the confirmation mail from the Income Tax Department within 24 hours of filing your ITR. If you don't receive the confirmation mail, you can check the status of your ITR on the Income Tax Department's website or contact the Income Tax Department's helpline.

Here's how to check the status of your ITR:

  1. Visit the Income Tax Department's website: www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in
  2. Click on "View Returns/Forms" and select "ITR Status"
  3. Enter your PAN and Acknowledgement Number (if you have it)
  4. Click on "Submit" to view the status of your ITR

Remember to keep the confirmation mail safe, as it serves as proof of filing your ITR.
