If the same happens with your ITR then this article may help you.

E-Verify Your Return

  2. Urge your deductor to file a revised TDS return

Your ITR Contains Errors

One common reason that your ITR hasn’t processed is that your ITR contains some errors. A discrepancy in your ITR may occur due to failure to:
  1. Include specific income(s) like interest income
  2. Include income from the previous employer within the same FY
  3. Fill or filled Schedule 80G Incorrectly in ITR
  4. Mention the excluded income in ‘Schedule EI’ of ITR
  5. Claim Deduction under section 80C correctly
If any error from the above occurs, then you have to file and e-verify a corrected return promptly.

Outstanding Tax Demand Unresolved

If you have received a demand notice from the Income Tax Department and failed to respond to it, it may also lead to non-processing of your ITR.

If this is the case, then you need to respond to the demand notice as soon as possible. To do that, you have to first login into the e-filing portal, then either disagree with the demand notice or you can agree on the demand. If you disagree with the demand notice then you will have to provide details for such a disagreement, And if you agreed,  then you have to pay the asked amount.

So, here we provided 4 reasons and their solution too, so you can try to get your ITR processed without any issue or delay. However, if nothing works then connecting to the Income-tax authority will be the best step as they will tell you about the problem and also guide you to solve it.
