New Delhi. The Finance Ministry has now made the authentication rules of e-records submitted under the Faceless Assessment Scheme launched by the Income Tax Department even more easy. Now the electronic records deposited from the registered account of the taxpayers on the Income Tax Portal will be deemed to be authenticated by the taxpayer through Electronic Verification Code (EVC).
What is Electronic Verification Code (EVC) Let us
tell you that in 2015, the department introduced the Electronic Verification Code (EVC), which is a 10-digit alphanumeric code that you generate after submitting your return. The Income Tax Return (ITR) filing process is completed only after successful e-verification of your Income Tax Return.
Ways to Verify Income Tax Return
You can get your ITR verified online as well as offline. Once your ITR is uploaded on the e-filing website, the IT department gives you 120 days to get your ITR verified. If it is not completed within that number of days, then your tax filing will become invalid as per the IT laws.
