ITR status: How can I check my income tax return status?

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to check your income tax return (ITR) status after logging into the e-filing portal, as per the tax department's website.

Log in to the e-Filing portal using your valid user ID and password.

Click e-File > Income Tax Returns > View Filed Returns.

On the View Filed Returns page, you will be able to view all the returns filed by you. You will be able to download the ITR-V Acknowledgement, uploaded JSON (from the offline utility), complete ITR form in PDF, and intimation order (by using the options on the right-hand side). (Click Filter to view your filed returns based on different criteria (AY or Filing Type); Click Export to Excel to export your returns data to excel format.)

Click View Details to view the life cycle of the return and action items related to it (e.g., returns pending for e-Verification).
