Income Tax Return Verification: Methods to Complete Your ITR Filing Process
Filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) is incomplete without verifying it within the prescribed deadline. The Income Tax Department offers multiple online verification methods, including Aadhaar OTP, Electronic Verification Code (EVC), net banking, Demat accounts, and Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). Verification confirms the return's validity and triggers a confirmation receipt. Alternatively, taxpayers can send a signed physical ITR-V copy to the Centralised Processing Centre. Failure to verify may result in the return being treated as invalid, with potential legal consequences unless delay condonation is granted.
