When Mr Bhatia from Westend Colony, New Delhi received Rs 1.42 crore in rent from his various properties, he filed his income tax return (ITR) on September 3, 2015, claiming a tax refund of Rs 17 lakh. This refund was based on the advance tax he had paid and the TDS deducted from his rental income.
However, Bhatia could not e-verify the ITR within the stipulated period of one month because he was busy looking after his 83-year-old father who was seriously ill and was being hospitalised time and again.
