E-Verification of ITR: Steps and Importance

E-verification of your Income Tax Return (ITR) is a crucial step to complete the filing process. Without e-verification, your ITR is considered invalid. In this blog, we will discuss the importance of e-verification, the different methods available, and the steps to complete the process.

1. Importance of E-Verification

E-verification of your ITR is essential for several reasons:

Completes the filing process: E-verification confirms that the ITR filed by you is genuine and completes the filing process.
Speeds up processing: E-verification helps in faster processing of your return and issuance of refunds, if applicable.
Avoids penalties: Non-verification of ITR can lead to penalties and legal complications. It is mandatory to verify your return to avoid such issues.

2. Methods of E-Verification

There are several methods to e-verify your ITR:

1. Aadhaar OTP

Link your Aadhaar number with your PAN and use the Aadhaar One-Time Password (OTP) sent to your registered mobile number to e-verify your ITR.

2. Net Banking

3. Electronic Verification Code (EVC)

Generate an EVC through your bank account, Demat account, or pre-validated bank ATM, and use it to e-verify your ITR.

4. Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

If you have a DSC, you can use it to e-verify your ITR. Ensure that your DSC is registered on the e-filing portal.

5. Sending a Physical Copy

If you are unable to e-verify using any of the above methods, you can send a signed physical copy of the ITR-V (acknowledgment) to the Centralized Processing Center (CPC) in Bangalore.

3. Steps to E-Verify Your ITR

Follow these steps to e-verify your ITR:

Step 1: Log in to the Income Tax E-filing Portal

Visit the Income Tax E-filing portal and log in using your credentials (PAN, password, and captcha code).

Step 2: Select ‘View Returns/Forms’

Under the ‘My Account’ section, select ‘View Returns/Forms’ to view the list of returns filed by you.

Step 3: Click on ‘E-Verify’

Find the return you wish to e-verify and click on the ‘E-Verify’ button next to it.

Step 4: Choose E-Verification Method

Select the preferred method of e-verification (Aadhaar OTP, Net Banking, EVC, DSC) and follow the instructions to complete the process.

Step 5: Confirmation

Once the e-verification is successful, you will receive a confirmation message on the screen and a confirmation email from the Income Tax Department.
