Income Tax Return Verification Required Within 30 Days to Validate Filing
After filing an Income Tax Return (ITR), taxpayers must verify it within 30 days for it to be valid. Verification acts as a digital signature confirming the return's authenticity. If missed, taxpayers can request condonation of delay, though approval is not guaranteed. The Income Tax Department offers six e-verification methods, including Aadhaar OTP, net banking, bank or demat account EVC, digital signature certificate, and ATM EVC, allowing taxpayers to choose the most convenient option.
