Missed ITR Deadline? Still Claim Your Tax Refund Via Section 154

• The revised ITR deadline for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26) was December 31st.
• Taxpayers who missed the deadline can still claim a tax refund by filing a 'Rectification Request' under Section 154.
• This option is for correcting errors like missed deductions or incorrect calculations after the original ITR processing.
• File the rectification request through the Income Tax e-filing portal under the 'Services' tab, verifying with Aadhaar or PAN.
• Check refund status on the portal; delayed refunds accrue 0.5% monthly interest, and bank details can be updated for re-issue.

Why It Matters: Even after missing the ITR deadline, taxpayers can claim refunds by filing a rectification request under Section 154.
