Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
The campaign date is a target, not a statutory deadline. Often the response option stays open, and a late reply still helps. But the department may move to formal action after the date.
Provisions and law
- e-Filing portal, Compliance Portal (e-Campaign)Taxpayers view and answer e-campaigns and e-verifications through Pending Actions on the e-Filing portal.
- Sec 148A, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 281, Income-tax Act 2025)Show cause procedure before a reassessment notice.
Analysis
Log in and check whether the campaign still shows a response option. If yes, respond now with full details. If the window has closed, fixing the return itself is the stronger step: file a revised or updated return. If a formal notice has already come, answer that notice instead.
Conclusion
- Check if the campaign is still open on the Compliance Portal.
- Respond now if it is.
- If closed, fix any missed income through the right return.
- Watch e-Proceedings for any formal notice.
