Analysis
A return uploaded on 25 July 2026 but verified on 10 October 2026 counts as filed on 10 October, so ₹1,000 or ₹5,000 fee and new regime rules for belated returns can apply. Verify as soon as possible. If there was a genuine reason, a condonation request can be made on the portal, but it is not automatic.
