On 19 July, the income tax department said over 3 crore ITRs for income earned in 2022-23 fiscal have been filed so far, out of which 91% have been verified electronically.
“Out of the 3.06 crore ITRs filed till 18th July, 2023, 2.81 crore ITRs have been e-verified i.e. more than 91 per cent ITRs filed have been e-verified! Out of the e-verified ITRs, more than 1.50 crore ITRs have already been processed,” the I-T department tweeted.

On 18 July, the income tax department said Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and foreign citizens whose permanent account numbers have become inoperative due to non-linking with Aadhaar should submit proof of their residential status to the jurisdictional assessing officer for operationalising the PAN.
The department said concerns have been raised by certain NRIs/Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) regarding their PANs (Permanent Account Numbers) becoming inoperative.
In a tweet, the department said it has mapped the residential status of NRIs in case they have filed ITR in any of the last three assessment years (AYs) or have intimated their residential status to the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer (JAO).
