Income Tax Return E-Verification: It is very important to do e-verification of ITR. If this is not done, then filing ITR will be considered useless.
Income Tax Return E-Verification: If you have missed the task of verifying it after filing Income Tax Return (ITR), then get this work done quickly. The Income Tax Department recently issued a statement asking the taxpayers to verify the return after filing it. Income Tax Return (ITR) will not be considered valid until it is verified.
The Income Tax Department has said in its message that taxpayers can still e-verify their IT returns for the assessment year (AY) 2024-25 by visiting the e-filing portal using Aadhaar OTP, net banking, pre-validated bank account or pre-validated demat account in a safe manner and without any hassle.
Keep these things in mind
- Those who have not verified their income tax return yet, need to pay attention to these things.
- The mobile number on which OTP is to be received is linked to Aadhaar or not
- The bank account from which EVC (electronic verification code) is to be generated is linked to the e-filing portal
- The demat account from which EVC (electronic verification code) is to be generated is linked to the e-filing portal or not
- You can verify ITR by generating EVC through ATM (offline method)
- You can also verify ITR through net banking or digital signature certificate
Do not delay verification
According to the income tax rules, the return should be verified within 30 days of filing the ITR. However, if this deadline has passed, then the date of verification will be considered as the date of filing. According to CBDT (Central Board of Direct Taxes) Notification No. 2/2024 dated March 31, 2024, delay in verification will have other consequences. For verification, you have to log in to incometax.gov.in. After this, click on the e-file option and then click on the first option Income Tax Return and finally go to the option of e-verify return.
