Claims between ?1 crore and ?3 crore: Chief Commissioners (CCsIT) have the authority.
Claims exceeding ?3 crore: Principal Chief Commissioners (Pr. CCsIT) will handle these applications.
Additionally, Bengaluru’s Central Processing Centre (CPC) is empowered to process applications related to verifying ITR-V forms delayed beyond the set time.

This rule applies to applications filed after October 1, 2024.
