It is necessary to verify ITR
It has often been seen that people get their Income Tax Return (ITR) filled by a tax consultant, friend or knowledgeable person. During this many times it happens that people file their return but forget to verify it. The reason for this is many times the person is not present on the spot, OTP is not coming due to network or postponed for later.
But if you want your Income Tax Refund to come on time and without any hindrance, then it is very important for you to get your ITR verified. Because the process of filing return is completed only after verifying the ITR. Apart from this, your ITR is also valid only then. Earlier, a copy of ITR had to be sent to the Income Tax Department to complete the process of getting verified, but now it can be e-verified.

Apart from this, you can also e-verify ITR from your pre-validated bank account, demat account, ATM, netbanking and digital signature.
