"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," the Department tweeted further.

Out of the e-verified ITRs, more than 1.50 crore ITRs have already been processed.

"So, we hope to keep up the momentum and urge all those who haven't filed ITR for AY 2023-24, to file their ITR at the earliest to avoid last minute rush," it said.

Last week Revenue Secretary Sanjay Malhotra had advised that taxpayers should not wait for the last date to file their returns as there won't be any extension beyond July 31.
