I have filed my income tax return for assessment year 2020-21 on 20/07/2020 but till now my ITR is not processed and intimation u/s 143 u/s is not sent. When I raised the grievance with e-Nivaran I got the reply like cpc 2 is rolling out and once it is rolled out your ITR will be processed. So I want to know what is the maximum time limit to process income tax ITR and what further steps I have to take for the processing of ITR. Waiting for your reply.

Ans: Income tax department has to process the ITR within the expiry of one year from the end of the financial year in which return was filed. Therefore, for your return filed for FY 2019-20 in July 2020, it must be processed by March 31, 2022.

Tax refunds, if any, are generally issued much earlier, in around 1-2 months' time, after the processing of ITR by the Central Processing Centre unless it comes up for scrutiny.

Career
I feel like a total failure even after completing MBBS from Madras Medical College, i am not getting any job of my choice, how do i get past this
Ans: Shocked to hear your concerns! It’s surprising that even after completing MBBS from a reputed institution like Madras Medical College, you’re facing difficulties in finding the right job. But remember, this is not failure. It’s just a transition phase where patience and flexibility are key. It’s natural to feel low when expectations don’t meet reality, yet this doesn’t diminish your achievement. Explore alternative opportunities such as internships, research roles, rural postings, or preparing for specialization through NEET-PG if you haven’t already. Many successful doctors began their journeys in challenging conditions, and their perseverance eventually brought recognition. Talking with seniors and mentors can provide valuable guidance, while sharing your feelings with friends can help you avoid loneliness and fatigue.

At the same time, don’t neglect your mental and emotional well-being. Connect with peers who’ve been through similar struggles. It will remind you that this phase is temporary. You can also build additional skills in communication, public health, research, or even health technology, which may open new career paths. Use this period to strengthen your CV with workshops, volunteering, or online certifications. Most importantly, be kind to yourself: completing MBBS is already a huge accomplishment, and setbacks don’t define your worth. Sometimes, stepping back to rest and reflect can bring the clarity and energy you need to move forward with confidence.

Good luck.
